Kirkuk: Four ISIS operatives were taken out, and a hideout was knocked out in airstrikes that targeted them in Kirkuk province in northern Iraq, Iraq's Joint Operations Command reported in a statement on Saturday.

According to Qatar News Agency, the operation was conducted based on accurate tipped-off intel and was supervised by the attack cell in the command as part of the persistent efforts to pursue the group's remnants.

Iraqi fighter jets carried out two airstrikes that targeted the hideout that was housing those operatives in Wadi Al-Shay area within Kirkuk Operations Command sector, the statement read.

It added that the operations resulted in taking out three of them and the complete obliteration of the site, highlighting that the Iraqi military fighter jets conducted a scouring operation following these two strikes, which helped them surveil and kill the fourth operative.

The Iraqi forces still hunt down ISIS remnants across various provinces, as those ISIS operatives occasionally plot armed attacks on military and police personnel.
