  • Iraqi forces gain ground in several neighborhoods – al-Mansour, Prophet Sheet, Tal al-Ruman, al-Mhlimeen, and al-Shuhdaa
  • Airstrikes kill top-tier IS officials responsible for aerial drones
  • IS militants force residents to park their cars in the streets to hamper progress of Iraqi forces
  • Hundreds of civilians flee Right Bank toward Hamam al-Alil on foot, lacking food and water

Editor's Note: Iraq Oil Report gathers daily updates on security and humanitarian developments inside Mosul city and surrounding IS-held areas in Ninewa province from a network of local reporters, residents, resistance fighters, and IS militants. Because of the physical risks associated with information-gathering in these areas, these reports are not comprehensive, and many cannot be immediately confirmed via multiple, reliable sources. Nonetheless, we believe there is a significant public interest in publishing this reporting.

The Custom Research Service of Iraq Oil Report also collects hard data on violence in IS-held territory, compiles maps and analysis of trends, and tracks economic indicators including commodity prices.
