Body of ISIS Member Discovered Following Airstrike in Kirkuk

A security combing operation carried out by joint forces in the southwest of Kirkuk Governorate resulted in the discovery of a body believed to belong to a member of the ISIS terrorist organization. Security sources reported that a joint force conducted extensive searches in agricultural areas surrounding a village east of the Al-Rashad sub-district, where the body was found in a location targeted two days prior by a precision airstrike from the Iraqi Air Force. The data suggested the militant was killed as a result of the aerial bombardment, while specialized forces transported the body to the forensic medicine department to complete legal procedures. Combing and pursuit operations continue in the area based on intelligence indicating the potential presence of other bodies, especially since these regions have witnessed preemptive airstrikes targeting the movements and hideouts of the organization's sleeper cells.
