U.S.-led strikes kill 250 Islamic fighters in Iraq



 
According to the report, U.S.-led coalition aircraft waged a series of deadly strikes against Islamic State around the city of Falluja on Wednesday, estimate of 250 suspected fighters were killed and about 40 vehicles were destroyed.


The strike took place south of the city, where civilians have also been displaced, and officials described it as the latest battlefield setback suffered by Islamic State in its self-proclaimed caliphate of Iraq and Syria.

On Wednesday, Turkey pointed the finger at Islamic State for a triple suicide bombing and gun attack that killed 41 people at Istanbul's main airport.

On the battlefield, the U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State has moved up a gear in recent weeks, with the government declaring victory over Islamic State in Falluja.
