Nine Daesh militants were killed and four others injured in a U.S.-led coalition airstrike late Monday in northern Mosul, according to an Iraqi police officer.
Five airstrikes targeted a Daesh military post, a training site and an ambulance carrying Daesh militants in northern Mosul, colonel Wessam al-Mefraji told Anadolu Agency.
“The targets were entirely destroyed in the strikes,” he said.
The U.S.-led coalition has been launching airstrikes in support of an ongoing Iraqi offensive aimed at retaking Mosul from Daesh.
Meanwhile, the anti-terrorism command said Iraqi forces had shot down a Daesh drone in eastern Mosul.
Daesh captured Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, and large parts of the country’s northern and western regions in mid-2014.
Recent months have seen the Iraqi army and its allies retake much territory, especially on Mosul’s outskirts and in the western Anbar province.
