MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Militants from the Daesh (Islamic State) jihadist group are in "a state of confusion and chaos" amid the progress made in the Iraqi army operation to liberate the central city of Ramadi from the terrorists, Iraqi army spokesman Yahya Rasoul Abdullah said Wednesday.

"We are now very close to the city center," Abdullah said, adding that in several days the operation could "yield good news" since the army's military progress on Tuesday reversed the momentum of the fighting.
