On the fourth day of the military offensive to liberate Mosul, the Peshmerga began a ground assault at 6:00 Thursday morning north of Mosul. The Kurdish forces are approaching on three fronts: from the Badush to the west, Tel Skuf to the north, and Bashiqa to the east. Before the Peshmerga began the ground assault, coalition airstrikes and Peshmerga artillery hit ISIS positions. These photographs are from the Tel Skuf front, Thursday morning.
