Shafaq News/ Iraqi security forces on Saturday launched a large-scale security operation to secure power facilities in a watershed area between jurisdictions of the West Nineveh, Saladin, and Al-Jazeera operations commands.

This critical operation, orchestrated in accordance with directives by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, aims to put pressure on "terrorist elements and those operating outside the confines of the law", an official press release by the Joint Operations Command said.

"The primary objective is to enhance the security and stability within the jurisdictions, especially focusing on the protection of electrical power towers," it continued.

A press release by the Security Media Cell (SMC) said that the West Nineveh Operations Command initiated the task through Infantry Brigades 15 and 20, the Sixth Border Guard Command, and Popular Mobilization Units, to" inspect and clear al-Hadr Island and the border separating Saladin and l-Jazeera Jurisdictions."
