ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - ISIS militants have resumed attacks on Peshmerga bases inside the disputed city of Shingal with clashes continuing into the night. Brigadier Hashm Sitaitold Rudaw told Rudaw on Tuesday night the Peshmerga were in a fierce fight with ISIS, but have so far prevented the militants from advancing. “Unlike ISIS, the Peshmerga have not yet suffered any casualties in the fight, but since the clashes are ongoing we cannot issue any correct statistics,” he said. Sitai added: “Even though ISIS is not as powerful as before, it still intends to take over Shingal in order to defend Talafar and Ba’aj,” referring to ISIS-held towns in the area.
