(Reuters) - Precision airstrikes led by Iraqi security forces (ISF) killed five Islamic State (ISIS) operatives near Iraq's Kirkuk on Jan. 31, the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) said in an X post on Tuesday.

"An initial post-strike clearance found multiple explosive suicide belts and other materials," Centcom said, adding that the airstrikes were enabled by Centcom forces.
