Baghdad: A joint force has begun a security operation in Al-Waqf Basin, northeast of Baqubah, the capital of Diyala Governorate.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, a security source revealed that the operation involves a raid and search mission targeting specific areas, particularly orchards near the banks of the Diyala River, extending towards the outskirts of Al-Mukhaisa villages. This region is recognized as the largest agricultural basin in the area.

The source further explained that the operation is part of efforts to secure the agricultural zones by repositioning and redeploying forces, as well as inspecting agricultural roads. These roads are considered important inland routes, and the operation aims to mitigate any potential security threats within the region.
