According to Iraqeya channel, the Iraqi forces managed to liberate eight villages only four hours after their advance. Local sources in Nineveh said that the Iraqi forces attacked five patrols related to ISIS leading to a number of killings and injuries among the group's militants, as the extremist group decided to ban the movement at six districts.
