ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Aerial footage published by an official from the Iraqi Defense Ministry purportedly shows ISIS militants trying to escape Iraqi armed forces from western Mosul across the Tigris river and into the eastern side of the city.
The video shows helicopters firing at what the Iraqi army says are ISIS militants who are swimming just meters away from the shores of the river. The footage was released by an Iraqi air force officer on Tuesday.
Even though the Iraqi government declared Mosul liberated, there have been reported sporadic clashes between remaining ISIS militants and Iraqi forces.
