Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rasool said the Iraqi army is realizing great progress in Tal Afar battle against Daesh.
In statements to the Arabic-speaking Sky News channel on Wednesday, the spokesman said Daesh militants suffer a collapse of morale.
Besieging Tal Afar for a long period ahead of the assault has sapped almost 90 percent of the terrorist organization's power.
On Tuesday, the Iraqi military cell said 37 terrorists were killed and three Daesh posts destroyed in Tal Afar.
On Sunday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi announced the launch of Tal Afar liberation operation.
Iraqi forces carried out air strikes on Tal Afar, a town held by Daesh west of Mosul, ahead of the ground assault.
Iraqi authorities had said Tal Afar, 80 km (50 miles) west of Mosul, will be the next target in the war on Daesh, who swept through parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
