ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—Peshmerga fended off a double Islamic State (ISIS) suicide bombing attack on the Wanke frontline on Tuesday. “ISIS attacked two Peshmerga outposts in Taniye village on the Wanke frontline near the Mosul dam on Tuesday, but Peshmerga stopped the attack,” a Peshmerga commander in the Zeravani second division told Rudaw. “The fighting continued for half an hour. Two ISIS bodies were left behind in the aftermath but the Peshmerga had no casualties,” he added. The Wanke sub-district is located north of Mosul city. Because of its proximity to the city, ISIS routinely attacks the Peshmerga along this frontline.
