ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraqi forces in coordination with air support from the US-led coalition have reportedly advanced in areas south and west of the city of Ramadi, a security source was quoted as saying on Saturday.
“The Iraq Army and security forces are advancing towards Ramadi on the western and southern fronts of the city, and our military plans have been successful so far,” the military source told the Al-Mada newspaper.
The source said Iraqi forces had launched a multi-pronged assault on ISIS elements in the area of Sarsar, adding that warplanes had pounded the extremists' arsenals and bases in the area.
Over the last three days, military operations to recapture the Anbar province have reportedly retaken 65 square kilometers from ISIS.
