ISIS has made a claim that it controlled part of Iraq's largest oil refinery Sunday, posting images online that purported to show the storming of the facility, fierce clashes and plumes of smoke rising above the contested site.
The group mentioned that it has launched an assault on the Baiji oil refinery late Saturday. By Sunday, militants entered inside the refinery and controlled several buildings, but Iraqi government security officials denied that claim and insisted Iraqi forces remain in full control.
The refinery is located 40 KM away from the northern Iraqi city of Tikrit.
