in the central Iraqi town of Madain

English Other Journalism News
Iraqi and US troops have launched an operation in the central Iraqi town of Madain, where Sunni rebels are holding a number of Shia residents hostage.

Does it mean "in the center of the Iraqi city of Madain" or in the city of Madain located in the center of Iraq"?

Thank you for your help!
