AhlulBayt News Agency - Iraqi Joint Operations Command announced on Wednesday the killing of a number of ISIS members, including leading figures of Chechen and Arab nationalities in an areal attack in northern Mosul.
After receiving an intelligence information from the counter-terrorism unit about a high level meeting of IS leaders, the Iraqi warplanes targeted the meeting headquarters in northern part of Mosul which resulted in the destruction of the location and the killing of a number of militants.
The statement by Joint Operation Command said that the airstrike killed three leaders and 9 of their assistants along with three other militants of Arab nationality.
The Iraq's second largest city of Mosul fell to the IS militants in mid-2014 after the collapse of the Iraqi army in northern Iraq, and the city became the group's main bastion in Iraq which it has been keeping the hold of it ever since.
