ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Kurdish forces and coalition warplanes bombed a weapons depot of the Islamic State (ISIS) group west of the militants’ stronghold of Mosul in northern Iraq on Sunday, a Peshmerga official told Rudaw.
Brig. Dilshad Maulood, media officer of the Peshmerga’s Zeravani command, said that light and heavy weapons were destroyed in the attack, and that several militants inside had been killed.
“Earlier this afternoon, coalition warplanes in the sky and the Peshmerga on the ground bombed the ISIS weapons depot in the village of Tashta near the town of Kaske on the Dijla front,” Maulood said.
“Several ISIS militants were incinerated inside the depot, but we have not collected information regarding the casualties,” he said, speaking by phone.
On Thursday, an ISIS convoy transporting heavy arms was destroyed at the Khazir front in a coalition airstrike, according to an earlier report by Maulood.
