"Forty-eight Daesh (IS) terrorists have been killed in the clashes," Brigadier General Khattab Omar Aref told AFP, adding that some of them blew themselves up when the security forces cornered them.
"Sadursmēs ar "Islāma valsti" mums ir 46 bojāgājušie un 133 ievainotie, vairums no tiem ir drošības spēku locekļi," pavēstīja Iekšlietu ministrijas brigādes ģenerālis.
