Baghdad, Oct 16, 2017 (AFP) — Iraqi forces on Monday took control of a military airport from Kurdish fighters near the disputed city of Kirkuk following tensions over a controversial independence referendum, the military said.
It came as Iraqi forces also captured an oil field and the main military base in the region after launching a major operation during the night, according to Iraq's Joint Operations Command.
