  • IS militants using more women snipers, disguised as civilians
  • Federal Police in Yarmouk attacked with chemically-laced mortars
  • IS militants executed 21 civilians, including women and children, in Tanak neighborhood as they attempted to escape
  • IS launch dozens of mortars to liberated Badush, killing 32 civilians

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.
