| Diyala (IraqiNews.com) Four Islamic State locations on the borders between Diyala and Salahuddin province have been shelled, an official said on Monday. “Aerial shelling targeted IS locations in Mutaibija basin, on borders between Diyala and Salahuddin, amid news of casualties among the enemy,” Abdul Khaliq Medhat told AlSumaria News. “The frequent shelling of IS gatherings and rest houses in Mutaibija contributed to reducing risks of the militant group against nearby regions, including Hawi al-Udhaim in Diyala,” Medhat added. Mutaibija has complicated terrain, with numerous hills that serve as a good hideout for militants. Occasional attacks have been witnessed there by Islamic State against government and paramilitary troops deployments since Iraqi forces, backed by a U.S.-led coalition and PMUs, launched a major offensive to retake areas occupied by IS since 2014. |
