The media office of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC) stated in a brief report that according to intelligence reports, the U.S.-led coalition aircraft carried out two airstrikes, one in Qara-Chokh Mountain in the southeast of Nineveh's provincial capital Mosul, and the other in Kirkuk province.
