ISIS plane destroyed in US raid in Iraq, says Pentagon

(IraqiNews.com) US warplanes destroyed a small oriented plane used by ISIS elements in Iraq.

The American radio station ‘Sawa’ quoted a statement by the Pentagon as saying, “Air strikes took place near the city of Fallujah led to the destruction of a remotely-controlled plane and a vehicle belonging to the ISIS group.”

Pentagon officials said, “The small plane was used by ISIS elements to explore the battlefield,” noting that, “It’s not a sophisticated plane compared to the US oriented aircrafts, which are capable of flying at great heights and firing rockets.”

It is noteworthy that Iraq has been fighting a war on multiple fronts against ISIS since June last year, after its control over large parts of the city of Mosul and its expansion toward the northern areas and declaring the “Islamic caliphate” last July.
