Kurdish Peshmerga forces have entered the centre of Sinjar after pushing out ISIL terrorists from the northern Iraqi town.

Sporadic bursts of gunfire could be heard inside Sinjar on Friday as Kurdish fighters filed down the hill overlooking the town from the north - some with rocket-propelled grenades on their shoulders, a witness told Reuters news agency.

Iraqi Kurdish forces backed by US-led air strikes had blocked a key supply line for ISIL takfiri group with Syria Thursday as they fought to retake the town of Sinjar from the terrorists.
