The troops, backed by an international coalition drone, managed to kill four suicide bombers, while the fifth went kaboom!, leaving an officer and a soldier killed, the statement added.

The raid came as the holy warrior group’s forces of Evil have intensified their attacks on the security forces, including Hashd Shaabi forces, and civilians in the formerly IS-controlled Sunni provinces, resulting in the killing and wounding of dozens.

group’s remnants have since melted in urban areas or deserts and rugged areas, carrying out frequent guerilla attacks against security forces and civilians.
