"Acting on intelligence information, federal police forces destroyed a hideout of the Islamic State group in the village of Hashisha, south of Kirkuk province," Iraqi news website Alghad Press quoted Maj. Gen. Saad Maan, the ministry front man, as saying in a press statement.

"The troops also seized a weapon depot at al-Nawafla village in Kirkuk,

containing an Austrian-made mortar shell and two boxes full of powerful C4 explosives," the front man added.
