According to the reports, Brigadier General Saad Maan Ibrahim, the spokesman of Iraq’s Joint Military Command, announced the death toll on Wednesday, adding that the bombings were carried out outside the ISIL-held city of Fallujah during the late hours of Tuesday.
The deadly bomb attacks happened shortly after the Iraqi government declared the start of a wide-scale offensive to take back control of areas held by the terror group in Anbar.
The terrorist attacks targeted the area near a water control station and a lock system on a canal between Lake Tharthar and the Euphrates River, where army forces have been stationed, Ibrahim said.
He added that the terrorists took advantage of a sandstorm to conduct the bombings.
Earlier on Wednesday, Iraqi forces managed to gain control of the al-Tash and al-Humayrah districts of Anbar and drive back the Takfiris from both areas.
According to an unnamed army colonel on the ground, the forces also entered the neighboring Anbar university compound “but have yet to liberate it.”
