ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – US-led coalition bombings on the outskirts of Mosul, the Islamic State (ISIS) group’s stronghold in Iraq for more than a year, destroyed a weapons depot and killed many of the militants, a Kurdish Peshmerga official said Sunday.
“The coalition warplanes conducted four airstrikes on an ISIS weapons depot on the Badoush heights and many other bases on Sunday at 3:00 pm (local time) near Eski Mosul on the western Dijla front,” said Brig. Dilshad Maulood, a senior Peshmerga media officer.
The militants sustained heavy casualties, he said, without specifying how many.
A coalition statement on Saturday said that, over the past 24 hours, warplanes had carried out 15 airstrikes against ISIS in and around Mosul, destroying many positions in the town of Tal Afar and northeast of Mosul.
