TEHRAN (FNA)- Iraqi air strikes claimed the lives of several ISIL terrorists in Salahuddin province on Monday.
Iraq's choppers launched several strikes on the hideouts of the Takfiri terrorists near Shurqat Bridge, leaving nine of them dead.

The crisis in Iraq escalated after the ISIL militants took control of Mosul in a lightning advance on June 10, which was followed by the fall of Tikrit, located 140 kilometers (87 miles) Northwest of the capital, Baghdad.

Soldiers of the Iraqi army and Pishmarga have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants on different fronts and have so far been able to push them back in several areas.
