Joint operation by Iraqi and US forces
According to the information, the US Army has carried out a major attack in the western region of Iraq. 15 people have died in this attack. While 7 American soldiers have also been injured. This attack was carried out by Iraqi and American forces targeting suspected terrorists of the Islamic State group. The US Army gave this information on Saturday. The US Army told 'The Associated Press' (AP) that seven American soldiers have also been injured in the attack.
It is noteworthy that the US military has been fighting the Islamic State group for years after evicting the terrorists from their self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria. However, the death toll in Friday's attack is higher than any other attack. The US Army's Central Command said that the terrorists were equipped with many weapons, grenades and explosive suicide belts. Iraqi forces said that the attack was carried out in the country's Anbar desert.
Many terrorist hideouts were destroyed
The Central Command said, “The goal of this operation is to disrupt the ability of top ISIS (Islamic State) terrorists to plan and execute attacks against Iraqi citizens, American citizens, allies and partners throughout the region and beyond.” The Iraqi army said in a statement, “The air strikes targeted terrorist hideouts.” Meanwhile, a US military official said on condition of anonymity that seven American soldiers were injured in the operation. The official said that the condition of the injured soldiers is stable.
