"Les deux principales routes reliant Erbil et Dohouk à Mossoul ont été coupées jeudi à l'aide de remblais de sable", a déclaré ce haut responsable. Il s'agit d'une "mesure de précaution après que nous avons senti un accroissement du déploiement et des mouvements des forces irakiennes près de 'la ligne de front' face aux peshmergas" (les combattants kurdes), a-t-il ajouté.

Kurdish Peshmerga forces blocked roads from the Iraqi Kurdish region to the country's second city Mosul for several hours in response to Iraqi troop movements, a senior Kurdish military official said.
ReplyDelete"The two main roads connecting Erbil and Dohuk to Mosul were cut off on Thursday with sand embankments as a precautionary measure after we detected an increase in deployments and movements of Iraqi forces near the front line with the Peshmerga," the official told AFP news agency.
Hours later, the barriers were removed and "the situation returned to normal," he said.
