Meanwhile, it was reported that the Iraqi army had begun an offensive in Anbar Province to liberate the town of Rutbah, which is controlled by Daesh terrorists.

Rutbah, as well as many other cities in western and northern Iraq including Mosul, the country’s second largest city, were seized by the terror group Daesh, which is outlawed in Russia and many other countries, in 2014.

Since last year, the Iraqi army, supported by a US-led international coalition as well as Kurdish forces, has managed to retake some territories occupied by Daesh terrorists, including the city of Ramadi, capital of Anbar Province.
