ISIS gangs attacked the joint Iraq and Germiyan asayish point in Khanaqin’s Gulala town last night with heavy weapons.

Clashes broke out when security forces retaliated the ISIS attack.

The clashes continued for one hour. Kuksi town official Simko Elî spoke to RojNews Agency and said: “There were no casualties from the asayish forces in the clashes that ensued, we don’t have concrete information on the ISIS side yet.

There is a rise in ISIS activity in the Sheikh Baba region in this last period.

The Sheikh Baba region lies beyween Gulale and Kelar and has Arab villages. It is a forest region. ISIS frequently uses these areas to carry out attacks.”
