Security Media Cell (SMC) said on Thursday (May 19) the Iraqi Air Force bombarded an Islamic State (ISIS) hideout north of Baghdad.

The air force’s F-16s carried out two air strikes targeting a hideout used by three ISIS members following intelligence from the National Security Service, according to SMC, which added a security force has been dispatched to the area to investigate.

ISIS was defeated territorially in Iraq in 2017 but the militant group remains a potent threat in some parts of the country.
