Exclusive: Map reveals latest developments in Mosul's Old City battle


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 on Tuesday.

The areas in green illustrate the completely regained ones, areas in orange show the areas currently witnessing clashes while the areas in white are still controlled by ISIS terrorist group.


Earlier, Federal Police units said they are besieging ISIS terrorists in al-Najafi district, the terrorist group's last bastion in Mosul's Old City.
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.
