“A statement from US Central Command said 14 strikes had been carried out on Sunday, ‘to support humanitarian efforts in Iraq, and support Iraqi security forces and Kurdish defence forces’. Isis fighters around the Mosul dam and the Kurdish capital of Irbil were hit nine times on Saturday.  ‘US military forces continued to attack [Isis] terrorists in Iraq Sunday,’ the statement said, ‘using a mix of fighter, bomber, attack and remotely piloted aircraft to successfully conduct air strikes near the Mosul dam.’  The statement said the 14 strikes damaged or destroyed ’10 armed vehicles, seven Humvees, two armoured personnel carriers, and one checkpoint’.”
