Dramatic battle video as troops advance in Mosul

(20 Mar 2017) Iraqi forces battling Islamic State group (IS) militants in Mosul continued their approach on the mosque where the leader of the extremist group declared its self-styled caliphate in the summer of 2014. As the advance proceeded on Monday, Iraq's ERD (Emergency Response Division, also known as Rapid Response Forces) used IRAM rocket launchers against militant positions near the Old City. Iraq launched a massive operation in October to retake Mosul, its second largest city and the IS group's last major urban bastion in the country. It declared eastern Mosul "fully liberated" in January and troops are now locked in a fierce battle for the city's more densely populated western half.
