  • Iraqi forces liberate Wadi Hajjar and Mahmoun apartments
  • IS militants hit Iraqi forces and civilians with shells apparently containing chlorine or mustard gas
  • IS militants set up anti-aircraft rockets in Amil neighborhood, order civilians to stay nearby as human shields
  • Airstrike on Omar al-Aswad mosque causes dozens of civilian casualties, kills named IS leader

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.
