Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi army announced on Tuesday that six Islamic State militants were killed in an airstrike by the US-led international coalition in Nineveh province.

“A joint force of the army’s 66th and 22nd brigades clashed with a number of Islamic terrorists near the Atshana Mountains, northwest of Mosul, forcing them to retreat to a safe place inside one of tunnels,” the Security Media Cell said in a press statement.

“Later, the US-led international coalition bombarded the tunnel, leaving six IS militants dead and a terrorist hotbed destroyed,” added the statement.
