Anbar operations’ security sources reported that Da’ish gunmen besieged a military unit in Albu Aitha, north of Ramadi city.

The sources added that great numbers of soldiers arrived to participate in a military operation to free 200 soldiers who were besieged by Da’ish gunmen.

They added that that the military air force will provide a cover for them in order not to repeat Saqlawiya massacre.

A number of US military advisors accompanied the coming Iraqi forces, the sources added.

All communications contacts were cut off in Fallujah and Ramadi areas since yesterday night, with expectation of expanded military operations there.
