Iraq: 2 Kurdish Fighters Die After ISIS Drone Explodes

HeadlineOct 12, 2016

In Iraq, two Kurdish fighters have died after an ISIS drone exploded—marking what’s believed to be the first time an ISIS drone attack has killed troops. ISIS already uses surveillance drones and has launched at least two previous drone attacks without any reported fatalities. U.S. military officials are now warning ISIS might successfully use drones against U.S.-led coalition forces in the upcoming battle for control of Mosul.
