Erbil, Kurdistan Region - A strike team of Apache helicopters from the US-led coalition launched a successful assault on ISIS positions early on Thursday which inflicted heavy damage on the extremists, a Peshmerga official has told Rudaw. 

Mehdi Younis, Peshmerga spokesman for the Makhmour frontline, said the air attack struck the ISIS-held vilages of Nasir, Xalidiya and Azwya with several bases completely destroyed. 

“We always gather information about ISIS positions in the district and inform the coalition in enough time for them to attack,” Younis said. 

Also, on Wednesday night coalition warplanes destroyed an ISIS vehicle and killed six jihadists on the Kaske front in western Mosul province.
