Kirkuk: CTS operation kills 2 ISIS militants

Shafaq News – Kirkuk
Two senior ISIS figures were killed in a firefight with Iraq’s Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) during an operation in southern Kirkuk province on Wednesday, CTS announced.
The operation occurred in the rugged Wadi Zghaitoun area and "led to the killing of ISIS's governor for the Riyadh subdistrict, while the other served as its local military commander," the statement clarified.
Despite its territorial defeat in 2017, the group remains active in parts of Kirkuk, Diyala, and Salah al-Din provinces, where it frequently targets local security forces and infrastructure.
