Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, repelled the attacks of remnants of the ISIS terrorist group in Diyala province in eastern Iraq on Friday morning.
Iraqi media sources reported that the preliminary results of a terrorist attack in ” Ziyābêh” area in “Abu Sayda” in Diyala province also left three dead.
In the meantime, Iraqi security officials in the northern city of Kirkuk announced that a terrorist attack has been thwarted.
Earlier on Friday, Hashd al-Sha’abi forces reported that two ISIS members were killed in the northern city of Mosul.
Iraqi security forces continue to search, cleanse and pursue ISIS remnants throughout the country to ensure that ISIS and its fugitive elements do not reappear.
In December 2017, after nearly three and a half years of fighting with the ISIS terrorist group, which occupied about a third of the country, the Iraqi government announced the liberation of all its territories from the hands of this terrorist group.
The remaining elements of ISIS are still active in areas of Baghdad, Saladin, Diyala, Kirkuk, Niveneh, and Al Anbar provinces.
