The spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Brigadier Yahya Rasoul, confirmed today, Saturday, that “the operations of the Iraqi heroes – the victory of sovereignty, have achieved their goals as planned.”
Rasoul said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency “conscious”, seen by “Al-Ghadeer”, that “the operations of Iraqi heroes – the victory of sovereignty carried out by the joint military units in the border areas separating the provinces of Kirkuk and Salahuddin, have achieved the planned goals,” noting that ” The joint security forces were able to search all areas with an area of more than 738 km2 and completely clear them. “
“The operations resulted in the killing of many terrorists, the arrest of wanted persons, the destruction of terrorist gangs’ dens, the seizure of equipment and weapons, and the detonation of many bombed cars from the first day of their launch,” Rasoul added.
He pointed out that “terrorist gangs are trying to hide in the loose desert areas, mountainous regions and valleys,” noting that “after the completion of these operations, there will be a redeployment of the military sectors to not leave any space through which ISIS gangs can exploit them in transportation and supplies.”
He explained that “the security forces continue their qualitative operations, whether by airstrikes or airdrops to the airborne forces,” noting that “the recent operations achieved painful strikes for the remnants of ISIS, and that there is a careful intelligence effort operating in Diyala to follow up on the movements of terrorist elements and pursue them.”
