Iraqi forces launch Mosul offensive against Islamic State
Iraqi troops backed by the United States move to seize Mosul from ISIS, the last major IS stronghold in Iraq. Prime Minister Haider al Abadi promises to raise the Iraqi flag as tens of thousands of troops from diverse forces converge with Kurdish, tribal, police, militia, and elite units, supported by airstrikes. More than a million civilians are believed trapped as ambulances await at regional checkpoints.
