Iraqi PM announces killing of IS leader Jassim al-Mazroui and eight senior officials in a military operation in the Hamrin Mountains.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced the killing of Islamic State leader Jassim al-Mazroui Abu Abdul Qader and eight senior officials during a military operation in the Hamrin Mountains. Iraqi counterterrorism forces conducted the operation with international coalition support, seizing weapons and ammunition. This follows an agreement for the U.S. to conclude its military mission in Iraq by next year, though officials assert Iraqi forces can handle remaining IS threats.
