At least 25 Iraqi fighters have been killed repelling a major three-day offensive by the Islamic State group in the region of Haditha in Anbar province, security sources said Tuesday.

"We have given 25 martyrs in 72 hours," a tribal commander, Sheikh Abdallah Atallah, told AFP by phone from Haditha, an area that includes a key dam and has held off IS since 2014.
