The Iraqi army and popular forces warded off the terrorists' attack on the city of Mosul, inflicting heavy losses and casualties on the militants.
Iraq's joint military forces continued their advances in the Northern part of Mosul and managed to win back a strategic district of the city.
Commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces Hadi al-Ameri said volunteer forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) have seized full control of the ISIS-controlled roads linking the city of Mosul in Iraq to Raqqa in Syria.
