(MENAFN) At least 1,959 members of the Iraqi security forces were killed across the country in November, the UN says.
In detail, it is almost three times the figure for October, when the government launched a major offensive to retake the city of Mosul from so-called Islamic State.
The number of civilians killed in November was 926, while 930 others were injured.
The UN special representative for Iraq, Jan Kubis, said the casualty figures were "staggering".
