Iraqi forces battling to drive the Islamic State group from Tal Afar said Saturday they had recaptured the northern city's centre and its Ottoman-era citadel.
"Units of the Counter-Terrorism Service liberated the Citadel and Basatin districts and raised the Iraqi flag on top of the citadel," the offensive's commander General Abdulamir Yarallah said in a statement.
