Iraqi government forces were on Wednesday continuing with their offensive to retake the central Iraqi city of Fallujah from Islamic State group militants.
Iraqi forces made no significant advances throughout the day, but according to Brigadier Haider al-Obedi, deputy commander of special forces, they were in control of 90 percent of city.
The military said that clashes with Isil were still ongoing and that it may take a few days before Fallujah is clear of enemy fighters.
Isil militants were still in control of the northern Golan neighbourhood as well as other scattered pockets around the city, where they were largely surrounded, the army said.
The operation inside the city of Fallujah was being conducted by the Iraqi army, regional and federal police forces as well as special anti-terror units.
