The Iraqi troops killed more than 23 militants of the terrorist group of Daesh in the two provinces of Salahuddin and Anbar over the past two days.

The Iraqi military said 13 military vehicles and three boats which had been used by Daesh militants were destroyed.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi troops were advancing towards Ramadi which has been isolated from Fallujah to cut off supplies to Daesh.

Although Daesh recently lost several parts of Diyala, Ninawah and Salahuddin provinces, the group remains in control of most of Anbar, including provincial capital Ramadi.
