The Rudaw Media Network, however, has not specified the number of those injured or killed.

The IED was reportedly planted on a motorbike.

​Mosul was captured by Daesh* back in 2014 and was liberated by the Iraqi military, backed by the US-led coalition, three years later. The situation in the city and across Iraq, however, remains unstable, as terrorists continue staging regular attacks on Iraqi troops and civilians.
