Early on Thursday morning, soldiers raided a location in western Iraq, resulting in seven injuries to US soldiers.
The US Central Command claimed, “The [IS] element was armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive’suicide’ belts.”
According to a US military officer who spoke to news, two US soldiers were hurt in falls and five US soldiers were hurt during the operation. They said there was no proof the raid had caused any civilian casualties.
Every employee is in stable condition, according to the official.
Important ISIS leaders were among the deceased, the Iraqi military claimed, without naming them.
Explosive belts were securely detonated, all weapons, hideouts, and logistical support were destroyed, and crucial records, identity papers, and communication equipment were taken.
Shortly afterward, the foreign ministry of Iraq announced that the “latest developments” had caused a statement regarding the end date of the mission of the US-led coalition to be delayed, without providing specifics.
There were rumors in March that talks regarding the coalition’s dissolution might not be finished until after the US presidential elections in November.
