Baghdad: At least 21 civilians, mostly women and children were killed and 35 injured in a bus bomb that went off Tuesday in a vegetable market in eastern Mosul, north of Iraq, a security source said.
Iraqi forces stormed into Al Mithaq and Al Wahda areas located in the Nineveh governorate, south east of Mosul, engaging with members of the ISIS group, the security source added without disclosing further details on casualties from both sides. The source further added that the Iraqi forces began bombing Ghazlani camp and Wadi Hajar area in preparation to attack the areas.
