The Iraqi Armed Forces won back full control of a village in South of Baghdad, killing over 25 ISIL terrorists and wounding many others.
"The Iraqi Army in cooperation with the country's Air Force carried out a security operation in Arab Jasim village that resulted in killing of 25 ISIL terrorists and destroying their shelters," spokesperson of the Ministry of Interior Brigadier Saad Maan said, Iraqi news reported.
The crisis in Iraq escalated after the ISIL militants took control of Mosul in a lightning advance on June 10, which was followed by the fall of Tikrit, located 140 kilometers (87 miles) Northwest of the capital, Baghdad.
Soldiers of the Iraqi army and Pishmarga have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants on different fronts and have so far been able to push them back in several areas.
