The convoy of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi has been struck by an Iraqi air strike in western Anbar, the military says.
His condition following the attack remains unclear.
The Iraqi military’s statement added: “He was heading to Karabla to attend a meeting with other ISIS commanders.”
According to Sherine Tadros, it is much more likely to be senior members of Islamic State who were hit, rather than al Baghdadi himself.
In Syria, Russia’s military has also been targeting Islamic State training camps, ammunition dumps and fighting positions.
Moscow officials have claimed 63 airstrikes were performed by its troops over the past 24 hours – destroying a total of 53 sites across four provinces.
