The US-led coalition strikes in Iraq’s western province of Anbar have killed 21 members of the Daesh terrorist group (outlawed in numerous countries), including its leaders, local media reported Sunday, citing a military source.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Daesh terrorists were killed in the Syrian town of Rawa by shelling of the coalition's military jets, which subsequently destroyed three Daesh houses, the source said, according to the Iraqi News outlet.
