| [RUDAW.NET] Iraqi security forces have destroyed several ISIS boats rigged with explosives in the Sarsar River in the predominantly Sunni city of Samara in Salahadin province, killing a number of the group's turbans in the boats, the Iraqi Ministry of Defense claimed Wednesday in a statement. "A special force of the Samara Operations Command managed to detonate several ISIS boats rigged with explosives to target Iraqi forces in nearby areas on the east bank of the Tigris River, killing all the turbans inside the boats," said the statement. "The 8th Division of the Iraqi army and a force of Hashd al-Shaabi have launched a series of military campaigns against ISIS holy warriors in areas around Samara, including Husseinia and the Busr fields, killing several ISIS holy warriors and destroying a military vehicle," the statement further read. Hashd al-Shaabi is the Arabic term for Shiite militias, also called Popular Mobilization Units (PMUs). It added Iraqi forces also destroyed an ISIS missile base at Busr in Samara and defused at least 20 improvised bombs (IEDs). |
