A military operation to liberate Mosul from IS terrorists was started in the morning of October 17. A few days before the start of the land operation, the US-led coalition began to carry out airstrikes.
The IS terrorist group captured Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, in June 2014. Reportedly, there are between 5,000 and 6,000 IS terrorists in the city.
