members were killed and injured in a security operation launched in northeast of Baquba, Diyala, a commander announced.

In remarks on Thursday, Maj. Gen. Mazhar al-Azzawi, commander of Dijla Operations Command, said, "security troops carried out security operation in al-Assyoud region in Muqdadiya, northeast of Baquba."

"The operation left twelve forces of Evil killed and another injured, most of whom from the region. Explosives and weapons were found," he added.
