ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — A convoy of ISIS vehicles carrying heavy weapons was destroyed at the Khazir front by airstrikes from the US-led coalition, a Kurdish military source told Rudaw.
“A convoy consisting of military vehicles equipped with heavy artillery was targeted by the US-led coalition airstrikes near the Khazir front just a few miles away from where Peshmarga forces are positioned,” Brigadier General Dilshad Maulood of the Zeravani Peshmerga said Thursday.
According to Maulood, the warplanes used pinpoint bombing to incinerate all the vehicles and drivers that were escorting the weapons.
“The bombing was carried out based on intelligence information Peshmerga forces provided for the US-led air force,” he added.
