BAGHDAD, Oct 13 (NNN-NINA) – Four Daesh militants were killed, on Saturday, in airstrikes on their hideouts, in Iraq’s eastern province of Diyala, a provincial official said.
Iraqi warplanes conducted airstrikes on three Daesh hideouts near Himreen Lake, in the north of the provincial capital, Baquba, some 65 km northeast of Baghdad, Sadiq al-Husseini, head of the security committee of the provincial council, said.
The airstrikes destroyed the three hideouts and killed four Daesh militants inside, al-Husseini said.
Despite repeated military operations in Diyala, remnants of the militants are still hiding in some rugged areas near the border with Iran, and in the sprawling areas, extending from the western part of the province to the Himreen mountain range in the north of Baquba.– NNN-NINA
