Islamic State militants have closed a dam on the Euphrates River in western Iraq. The move has reduced the water flow to government-held areas of Anbar province, an official said Thursday.
The militants have redirected the flow of water to the battlefield around the city of Ramadi. They captured the town last month. The move also threatens to create extremely dry conditions in Iraq’s southern provinces.
