The situation in Iraq has been highly unstable for several years due to the activities of the Daesh* terror group, which seized huge territories in the country in 2014. Despite the fact that the occupied areas were retaken by the Iraqi government troops, jihadists regularly stage attacks on servicemen and civilians.
