U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Friday its forces conducted a partnered raid with the Iraqi Security Forces in western Iraq in the early hours of Aug. 29, resulting in the deaths of 15 Islamic State (ISIS) operatives.

"The ISIS element was armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive "suicide" belts," CENTCOM said. It also added that there were no indication of civilian casualties in the raid.

Seven American troops were injured in the joint raid, the Associated Press reported later citing the U.S. military.
Five were wounded in the operation while two others were hurt in falls, a U.S. military official told the AP. "All personnel are in stable condition," the official said.

The U.S. Department of Defense did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the injury toll.
At least five U.S. personnel were injured in an attack earlier this month against a military base in Iraq.
