On 7/4 at 2:00 PM, a detachment from our 3rd Branch began a battle on the main road between Kirkuk and Qara Hanjir against two military vehicles full of military personnel. As a result, some of the military personnel were killed and some were wounded. At that moment, a military convoy arrived from Kirkuk to reinforce them; our detachment also confronted them. The battle continued until 5:00 PM. The enemy's losses are estimated at 15 killed and 10 wounded, and one military Zil vehicle was burned. Our detachment returned to its position without any losses.
