  • Iraqi forces sever main highway between Mosul and Syria by taking Damarchi village, cutting off possible IS escape route
  • CTS and 9th Division penetrate Mamoun neighborhood, face stiff IS defenses
  • IS militants attack on Left Bank neighborhoods of Kuba and Shirikhan is repelled
  • Airstrikes on IS positions on Right Bank kill about three dozen militants

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.
