The situation is tense since the US forces launched Operation River Blitz on Tuesday, Aljazeera has learned.
In the province's city of Ramadi, two Iraqis including a woman along with her children were killed in US fire.
While three civilians were injured when US troops opened fire on their car, the woman and children were killed when the air force bombed a house in Bu-Farraj district, north of the city.
Several checkpoints have been set up by the US forces in the city, with students studying at al-Anbar University unable to reach their classrooms, Aljazeera has learned.
