Iraqi army

Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rasool said the Iraqi army is realizing great progress in Tal Afar battle against Daesh.

In statements to the Arabic-speaking Sky News channel on Wednesday, the spokesman said Daesh militants suffer a collapse of morale.

Besieging Tal Afar for a long period ahead of the assault has sapped almost 90 percent of the terrorist organization's power.

On Tuesday, the Iraqi military cell said 37 terrorists were killed and three Daesh posts destroyed in Tal Afar.
