At least 75 Takfiri terrorists killed in Iraq

Fighters from Popular Mobilization units and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have killed more than 70 ISIL Takfiri terrorists during two separate operations in Iraq’s northern provinces of Kirkuk and Nineveh.

According to the reports, Jabbar al-Mamouri, a commander of the pro-government Popular Mobilization units, told Arabic-language al-Sumaria satellite television network on Sunday that more than 40 bodies of ISIL (Daesh) terrorists together with tens of wounded militants arrived at the main hospital in the town of Hawijah, located about 282 km north of the capital, Baghdad, late last night.

Mamouri added that the Takfiris had been killed or injured during fierce exchanges of gunfire with Iraqi forces in close proximity to Ajil and Alas oil fields, located northeast of Salahuddin provincial capital city of Tikrit.

There were six high-profile Daesh terrorist commanders, identified by the noms de guerre Abu Qa’qa al-Misri, Abu Osama al-Ansari and Talhah al-Araqi, among the slain militants.

Separately, PKK announced in a statement on Sunday that the Kurdish fighters have launched an offensive against a position of Daesh Takfiris in the strategic Shelo region, which lies southwest of Sinjar Mount in Nineveh Province, killing 21 terrorists in the process.
