 province, resulted in the deaths of 24 myrmidons, a Peshmerga commander told Rudaw.

"The coalition Arclight airstrikes bombarded Daesh positions around 12 pm on Tuesday from the west, east and center of the town," Ezadin Sandi, a commander of the 12th Peshmerga Brigade, said Tuesday. Daesh is the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

"From the east side, they attacked a Daesh-held checkpoint, where at least 14 jihadists were killed. Meanwhile the Arclight airstrikes targeted a checkpoint and one of the group's positions from the west and central areas, which resulted in the death of 10 Daesh gunnies," Sandi added.

ISIS bases in the disputed Shingal have been frequently bombarded by coalition Arclight airstrikes in the last few months.

Earlier in May, US-led coalition warplanes conducted seven Arclight airstrikes within two hours against ISIS in Shingal, killing at least 30 jihadis during an operation.
