'Heavy losses' for ISIS/ISIL in battle for Mosul, Iraqi forces say

Iraqi security forces on Monday said the Islamic State has had "heavy" losses of militants and equipment as the long-awaited battle for Mosul wages.
"Pretty soon we'll be here to raise the flag of Iraq ... in every village, in every corner," Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi said in a statement on Monday in reference to the Mosul offensive, adding that the Islamic State's flag "will not be displayed in place among us."

Iraqi security forces said it inflicted "heavy losses of life and equipment" against the Islamic State in Mosul's southeastern Hamdaniya district.

Kurdish Peshmerga fighters have been working to secure areas surrounding Mosul. At least six Peshmerga fighters have died and 16 others have been wounded. [upi.com]
