Three security personnel were killed on Friday in an attack by Daesh terrorists in the western province of Anbar, a local police officer said.
"Daesh militants launched an armed attack on a security post in Al-Tabaa area of Anbar province," the officer told Anadolu Agency on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.
He said two soldiers and a pro-government tribesman were killed and two other soldiers seriously injured in the attack.
The terror group, however, still has sleeper cells in Iraq that launch sporadic attacks on civilians, security forces, infrastructure, and other targets.
The Iraqi army continues to carry out frequent operations against the terror group in different parts of the country.
