Kurdish forces lose more territory in Iraq
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA day after Iraqi forces took back the disputed city of Kirkuk, forcing Kurdish fighters to leave, Iraq’s Interior Ministry says Kurdish forces have also withdrawn from other disputed territories in eastern Iraq, namely from three towns near the Iranian border.
The Ministry’s Emergency Response Unit says the Kurdish forces pulled out of the towns of Jaloula, Khaniqain, and Mandali, near the Iranian border.
Baghdad has demanded Kurdish authorities return all the country’s “disputed territories” — mostly areas Kurdish forces took since the 2014 in the war against the Islamic State group.
