Irak: bitwa o Mosul

Zbliżający się koniec walk nie oznacza, że w mieście panuje spokój. Krwawe walki trwają wciąż m.in. wokół meczetu. Na okolicznych ulicach w każdej chwili natknąć się z kolei można na miny lub zdesperowanych uciekinierów – również dezerterów z szeregów tak zwanego Państwa Islamskiego. W wyzwolonych częściach miasta przed służbami stoi również wielkie zadanie rozminowania terenu oraz usunięcia ciał nim możliwe będzie rozpoczęcie odbudowy i powrót ludności cywilnej.
