Baghdad: At least three militants were killed in an airstrike on an Islamic State hideout in northern Iraq's Kirkuk province, an army source said. Based on intelligence reports, Iraqi warplanes launched an airstrike in the rugged area of Wadi al-Shay, some 250 km north of the capital Baghdad, according to a statement issued by the Security Media Cell, a media outlet affiliated with Iraq's Joint Operations. The statement said the airstrike destroyed the base and killed all IS militants inside. Meanwhile, an army source said on condition of anonymity, three to five terrorists were killed. The security situation in Iraq has improved since the defeat of IS in 2017. However, IS militants continue to carry out guerrilla attacks against security forces and civilians.
