Baghdad-Sana
An Iraqi soldier was killed and another wounded today, when an explosive device exploded in Mosul, Nineveh Governorate, northern Iraq.
An Iraqi security source told Alsumaria News that an explosive device exploded while army units were combing an area within the Hatra district of Mosul, killing one soldier and wounding another.
This incident comes as the Popular Mobilization Authority announced today the launch of a security operation in the Hatra desert.
"The operation aims to pursue the remnants of the terrorist organization ISIS and to secure the desert from the infiltration of terrorists," the crowd's media said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Baghdad Operations Command announced the arrest of a terrorist south of the Iraqi capital, indicating that, in coordination with the Baghdad Operations Intelligence and Security Department and the National Security Apparatus, a terrorist was arrested after a tight ambush in the Mansour area.
