On the progress of the anti-Igilov operations of the Iraqi army and the Kurdish militia in the area of Fallujah and Mosul
On the eve of Iraq, an attack by militants of the so-called “Islamic State” on the headquarters of the armed forces of the Kurdish militia of Iraq (Peshmerga) was prevented. Informational portal ARANews reports that igilovtsy planned to attack the headquarters of the Peshmerga in the city of Mahmur (Iraqi Kurdistan) with the help of suicide bombers.
According to the Peshmerga squad leader Servan Barzani, the four militants were neutralized before they could put the suicide belts attached to them into action. One fighter nevertheless committed a self-explosion. It happened not in Makhmur, but in the administrative center of Iraqi Kurdistan - the city of Erbil. As a result of the terrorist attack, a fighter of the Kurdish militia of Iraq was seriously wounded.
Against the backdrop of the ongoing Iraqi army’s operation to free Fallujah, occupied by ISIL, the flow of immigrants is increasing. It seems that the official Baghdad was simply not ready for thousands of refugees. In the area of settlements near the city under the control of the Iraqi army, there is a difficult situation with the provision of medicines and food. Moreover, igilovtsy often undertake counterattacks on the positions of the Iraqi army, which leads to casualties among civilians as well.
On Sunday night, Peshmerga forces attempted to seize the territories of the Nineveh plain east of Mosul. During the offensive, rocket artillery and armored vehicles were used. Iraqi aircraft supported from the air aviationas well as the American coalition. Despite this, the militants as a whole still manage to maintain their positions.
