Iraqi Kurdish fighters say they have captured the northern Iraqi town of Ain Sifni after a battle with Iraqi forces.
Babekir Zebari, commander of "Peshmerga" fighters, said in the city of Dohuk that one Kurdish fighter had been killed and one wounded in the fighting for Ain Sifni, 28 miles northeast of Mosul.
"We entered the town at seven o'clock (4 a.m. Irish time). By nine o'clock we had the place under our control," he told journalists on Sunday.
