Baghdad: At least 59 Islamic State (IS) militants were killed in fierce fighting involving the Sunni radical group, the Iraqi security forces and allied fighters, media reported.
While Iraqi security forces and allied tribal fighters repelled attacks by IS militants in two towns in the western province of Anbar, leaving more than 32 militants dead, at least 27 other militants of the group were killed during clashes with Sinjar Protection Forces in northern Iraq.In one of the attacks, IS militants advanced in the early hours of Wednesday on the town of Ameriyat al-Fallujah, some 40 km west of Iraq's capital Baghdad, but were repelled by Iraqi security forces and allied local Sunni tribesmen, a source from Anbar provincial operations command, told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The militants tried to enter the town, which has been under their siege for more than two weeks, from three directions but, after several hours, they withdrew.
