Fierce intermittent
clashes have been underway in various parts of Ramadi, mostly in the western
sector of the city. Mortar rounds and other explosives are still targeting the
HQ of the 8th Brigade. Reliable sources indicate that the gunmen have widened
their presence in the city and in the countryside along the Euphrates River
towards Fallujah.
In Fallujah, prolonged
shelling of many of the city's residential districts, as well as in Al-Garma
and the areas between the town and the city, has killed 4 people and wounded
at least 11, including women and children. The southern and southwestern
sectors of the city were also the scenes of intermittent clashes. The commander
of the 6th Division was killed in the action.
In Anbar's western
regions, the main towns are still under the gunmen's control. Areas along the
border between Anbar and Nineveh
governorates and in the Iraqi-Syrian border areas came under bombardment. The
general consensus on the ground is that it is the gunmen who are in control.
