According to Joint Special Operations Command, Iraqi air force jets killed at least 50 ISIS (Daesh in Arabic) in the north-central Kirkuk province.

Iraqi air force jets killed at least 50 ISIS in the north-central Kirkuk province, including fighters hailing from the Caucuses, the Joint Special Operations Command said Monday, Sputnik reported.

"Iraqi F-16 aircraft…directed air strikes resulting in the destruction of four ISIS terrorist bases, four bomb-making and anti-aircraft weapons making labs, and killed over 50 terrorists, including from the Caucasus planning suicide attacks in Hawija," the command said in a statement on its website.
