Iraq's CTS Kills Five ISIS Members in Kirkuk
2023-07-08
[Shafaq News] The Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (CTS) successfully eliminated five ISIS members during a military operation in Kirkuk Governorate.

In a statement, the Agency disclosed that its forces executed a night airdrop in several districts, including al-Dibis and Altun Kupri in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
resulting in "violent mostly peaceful" festivities with the terrorist group.

Earlier, a source told Shafaq News Agency that the Counter-Terrorism Service encountered ISIS fighters after conducting an airdrop in the Altun Kupri district.

The source confirmed that the Service forces successfully eliminated four snuffies during the violent mostly peaceful clash.

The operation reflects ongoing efforts by Iraqi security forces to combat the remnants of ISIS and maintain stability in the region.
