ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – US-led coalition airstrikes destroyed a military convoy of the Islamic State (ISIS) group in northern Iraq on Thursday, destroying armored vehicles and killing all the militants, a Kurdish commander said.
“The (coalition) warplanes attacked ISIS elements as they were passing through a road in Halabiya village, east of the Dijla frontline,” said Delshad Mawloud, a commander of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces.
Three armored vehicles that were in the convoy were destroyed and all ISIS fighters traveling with it were killed, he said, without specifying the number of casualties.
The village of Halabiya lies in an area that is in the frontline of the war between Kurdish forces and ISIS. It is east of the Dijla frontline and west of Aski Mosul, a very small town in the eponymous province.
