Exclusive: ISIS' remaining areas in Mosul explained on Map

An updated version of Mosul's map showing the latest developments in the battle to oust ISIS from the Old City in Mosul's right bank has been obtained by The Baghdad Post.

The areas in green illustrate the completely regained ones, areas in orange show the areas currently controlled by ISIS terrorist group, witnessing clashes with the Iraqi forces.

On Sunday, Iraqis prepared to celebrate an expected victory over ISIS in Mosul, just blocks away from battles raging in the last few districts where the militants are dug in.

Troops tied white banners and Iraqi flags to lamp posts and damaged buildings including the Hadba minaret, which the militants blew up in June along with the adjoining Grand al-Nuri Mosque, as air strikes and mortars rained down nearby.

Security forces, backed by International Coalition air raids and logistic support of the US army, have retaken eastern Mosul and most of its western part after eight months of battles. These forces are focusing now on liberating Old City's districts that are still under ISIS control.

It is estimated that there are a few of ISIS terrorists left in the second largest city of Iraq. It is expected that they will desperately defend the last pocket of the city that has been once their main stronghold in Iraq.
