Iraqi Army recaptures strategic village, plans for more offensives in Makhmour
The Iraqi Army, with the help of US-led coalition warplanes, recaptured Mahana village in Makhmour on Wednesday.
The Iraqi army, backed by coalition airstrikes, resumed offensives against Islamic State militants on the Makhmour front in an operation that had been on hold for weeks. Clearing ISIS from villages surrounding Mosul is the first stage of the liberation of that city, Iraqi army officials told Rudaw.
