Tag iraqi forces say step up attack on east mosul
According to recent reports, the Iraqi forces have announced that they will be stepping up their attack on the eastern part of Mosul, which is still under the control of the Islamic State (ISIS) militants.
The Iraqi military, backed by a US-led coalition, has been making progress in its efforts to retake the city of Mosul, which has been under ISIS control since 2014. The eastern part of the city has been a key stronghold for the militants, and the Iraqi forces have been working to dislodge them from the area.
In a statement, the Iraqi military said that they will be increasing their attacks on the eastern part of Mosul, with the goal of liberating the city from ISIS control. The statement also warned that the militants are using civilians as human shields, and that the Iraqi forces will do everything in their power to avoid harming innocent civilians.
The US-led coalition has also been providing air support to the Iraqi forces, and has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets in the area. The coalition has also been working to help the Iraqi forces clear the city of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other hazards.
The battle for Mosul is seen as a crucial step in the fight against ISIS, and the Iraqi forces are working to retake the city as quickly and safely as possible.
