/ world today news/ Fighters from the terrorist group “Islamic State” have lost control over all oil wells in Iraq.

This was reported by “Reuters” with reference to the Ministry of Oil in Iraq. This came as the Iraqi army pushed the insurgents out of territory near the city of Kirkuk last week. Government forces have not yet taken control of the Najim oil wells, but according to Iraqi officials, IS fighters no longer have access to production facilities due to constant airstrikes and a military advance. The liberation of Mosul is the main goal of the joint operation with the Kurds to restore control over the country. /TASS
