Some great news.

Iraqi forces have entered southern Nineveh from Sallahiddin province for the first time in 2 years. They have liberated several villages and are on the outskirts of Shirqat.

Around Fallujah and khaldiyah island IS fighters have massed into their remaining pockets. Totally trapped in a small area. They attempted to rip through Amriyah from southern Fallujah and try to reach the desert and from there attempt to travel to the remaining towns under IS control towards the Syrian border.

Nearly 500 vehicles in the two areas have attempted the escape. However, iraqi army aviation managed to destroy over 4 convoys. some of the vehicles managed to escape back to the remaining surrounded IS pockets. Many IS fighters were killed. Also dozens of them have died in the desert after loosing their vehicles with no water or food. The iraqi army aviation, iraqi army, local fighters and PMF units continue to hunt down and kill the remaining IS fighters in the region.

The announcement came after his meeting with Iraqi Defence Minister Khaled Al-Obaidi in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

Al-Sabhan wrote on Twitter that the pair had discussed bilateral relations between the two countries as well as the kingdom’s keenness to enhance military cooperation with Iraq to serve the needs of both people.

Al-Obaidi briefed the Saudi ambassador on the military operation being carried out by the Iraqi army and the international coalition to regain control of the city of Fallujah from Daesh.

In a statement, Al-Obaidi said the Saudi ambassador congratulated him on the Iraqi army’s victories across the country, adding that it is defending all the Middle East’s security and stability.

He stressed his country’s keenness to establish better relations with its neighbours on the principles of non-interference in each other’s internal affairs.

Good to see Iraqi forces start showing effectiveness of their air wings. In desert war, air wing is everything to provide cover to advancing forces.
