UK gifts arms and ammunition to Kurdish regional government
UK provides further support to Kurdish regional forces battling ISIL insurgents in northern Iraq. At the request of the government of Iraq to provide urgent military support, the UK will supply heavy machine guns and nearly half-a-million rounds of ammunition. This will give the Kurdish Peshmerga forces additional firepower in order to help them defend the front line, protect civilians and push back ISIL advances
