Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi says so-called Islamic State (IS) will be ousted from the country, after government forces recaptured Ramadi.

Kurdish fighters enter Sinjar in northern Iraq, a day after launching an offensive to retake it from Islamic State (IS) militants.

Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi says that the city of Ramadi could be taken back from Islamic State militants "in days".

The Iraqi government is reported to be sending Iran-backed Shia militias to Ramadi to recapture the city seized by Islamic State (IS) militants.

Islamic State militants attacked the capital of Iraq's vast Anbar province on multiple fronts on Friday, seizing two areas on the city outskirts.
