The United States Department of Defense releases video that purports to show coalition airstrikes on so-called “Islamic State” headquarters in Mosul.
The video purports to show strikes in Mosul that hit an "Islamic State" (ISIS, ISIL, IS and Daesh) headquarters in the President's administration building at Mosul University, according to a U.S. Department of Defense.
Peshmerga Forces and thousands of Iraqi troops have deployed to the north in recent weeks, setting up base in Makhmour, which is set to be a key Launchpad for any future offensive on Mosul, around 60 km north.
Iraqi officials say they will retake Mosul this year, the city which is by far the largest population center controlled by the terrorist.
