At least 14 Iraqi soldiers were killed and ten wounded Wednesday after Daesh (ISIS) ambushed a military convoy in the western province of Anbar, the Associated Press reported.

Officials told AP multiple roadside bombs targeted the convoy Wednesday morning when the vehicle was traveling on a road outside of the Daesh-held city of Ramadi

Iraqi forces, with the help of Shiite paramilitary, have been conducting an offensive in Anbar to reclaim territories currently controlled by Daesh.
