Iraqi troops destroyed three Islamic State bases in Kirkuk

Iraqi sources reported on Monday night the destruction of three ISIS bases in the northern province of Kirkuk.

The three ISIS centers were destroyed during an operation by Iraqi forces in the al-Rashad region of Kirkuk province, the official Iraqi news agency reported.

According to Iraqi sources, Iraqi forces are still operating in the area.

Despite the defeat of the ISIS terrorist group in Iraq, members of this terrorist group are still present in different parts of the country and carry out terrorist acts in a scattered manner.

In 2014, the ISIS terrorist group, with the financial and military support of the United States and its Western and Arab allies, including Saudi Arabia, invaded Iraq, occupying large parts of the northern and western parts of the country and committing countless crimes. Iraq subsequently called on Iran to help Baghdad fight these terrorists.

On November 17, 2017, Iraqi forces, with the advisory assistance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, succeeded in liberating the city of Rawa in Anbar province western Iraq, the last ISIS base in Iraq. With the liberation of this city, ISIS was destroyed.
