Iraqi troops have to deal with ISIS drones flying overhead and in most cases dropping grenades on them as they advance towards the Tigris River that divides the city of Mosul in half.


The army says they have shot down a number of drones as they have also managed to blow up car bombs dispatched by ISIS to slow down their advance. In this they are helped by coalition air strikes.


The army retook from ISIS the neighborhoods of Baladiyat and Suker from the radical group on Sunday after hours of heavy fighting.
