IRAQ: Kurdish peshmerga forces announced yesterday that they had retaken a string of villages east of the city of Mosul from the Islamic State group (Isis).
Brigadier General Dedewan Khurshid Tofiq said a bridge, taken on Monday, that leads to south-eastern Mosul could facilitate a troop build-up once it has been repaired.
Iraqi forces and Kurdish troops are seeking to encircle Mosul, which has been under Isis control for more than two years and is the death cult’s last major urban stronghold in Iraq.
