In Ramadi with an explosion committed by a suicide bomber, 37 people were killed

In the city of Ramadi, in the province of Anbar in the west of Iraq on Sunday during an explosion committed by a suicide bomber near a military facility, 37 people were killed, including 22 security services. This was reported by Reuters with reference to police officers and doctors.

It is reported that the suicide bomber undermined the army all -terrain vehicle Humvee, which was filled with explosives, on the territory of the construction complex used by the Iraqi army and the police.

Since January, in the cities of Ramadi and Falluja in the province of Anbar there have been battles between security forces and militants of the “Islamic state”.

On the same day, Iraqi military personnel, with the support of the Shiite militia detachments and Kurdish armed groups of Peshmerga, entered the city of Ammerly besieged by the militants of the Islamic State.

The operation of the liberation of Ammerley began on Saturday. US military aviation struck the positions of Islamists on the approaches to the city. At the same time, American aircraft dumped humanitarian goods for residents of the city.

Representatives of the Turkmans community live in Ammerley, most of whom are Shiites. Over the past two months, they were cut off by Islamists from drinking water, food and medicines.
