Fallujah
There is reporting on the BBC and in the Daily Mirror that the Iraqi army is facing resistance and counter-attacks as it attempts to storm Fallujah. The army's dawn offensive came a week after it began efforts to retake the city, just 30 miles (50km) west of Baghdad and held by IS since 2014. An estimated 50,000 civilians are trapped inside, with only a few hundred families escaping so far.
Elsewhere Sky reports from an Alex Rossi embed with an elite Zerevani unit of the Peshmerga, where a commander said that Daesh is suffering considerable setbacks on multiple fronts and can be defeated before the end of the year if there is a concerted military push across Iraq and Syria.
