Islamic State leader, four companions killed in army airstrike, south of Kirkuk

Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) An Islamic State leader and four of his companions were killed in an airstrike in south of Kirkuk, a commander said.

“Airstrikes that depended on accurate intelligence information targeted an IS location, which left the Wali of Kirkuk, known as Abu Adam, killed in Wadi al-Shai region, 45 kilometers south of Kirkuk,” Maj. Gen. Ali Fadel Umran, commander of Kirkuk Operations, told AlSumaria News on Monday.

“The airstrike left four companions of the leader killed,” Umran added.

Earlier on the day, Umran announced launching a security campaign to follow the IS militants who escaped Hawija toward Zab region in southwest of Kirkuk.

Armed attack launched against Iraqi troops in Kirkuk

Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) An armed attack has taken place against the Iraqi army on Kirkuk- Altun Kupri road in Kurdistan, a security source said on Monday.

“The attack against the Iraqi army occurred near Klousi village,” the source told Baghdad Today. “Deployed troops responded strongly.”

Earlier this month, the Kurdish Peshmerga Ministry has said that the Iraqi federal and paramilitary troops are rallying in south of Sulaimaniya, describing the step as dangerous one that does not helping de-escalation.

Last month, the ministry indicated being informed about the PMFs movements in Altun Kupri. Peshmerga commander Kamal Kirkuki said in remarks to Voice of America that PMFs moved on from Kirkuk toward Altun Kupri, located near Erbil.
