An aircraft of the international coalition led by the USA in Iraq, last Friday (19), destroyed three hideouts of of the Daesh group. The statement was made by the coalition military spokesman, Colonel Myles B. Caggins III.
“Iraqi security forces have been conducting a tactical assessment of Daesh; air strikes help to destroy Daesh targets in terrain that is difficult for ordinary vehicles to reach,” said Caggins. “Blowing up Daesh hideouts in bucolic places results in security in cities and villages”, he added.
The US command still said it will be maintained "relentless pressure on the terrorist group".
