CAIRO (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 26th May, 2019) A bomb-laden vehicle exploded in a neighborhood of the Iraqi city of Mosul on Sunday, leaving five people killed and eight others injured, the Iraqi security forces said in a statement.
"A terrorist attack occurred in Mosul. The bomb-laden car was parked near a market in the settlement of Oweinat [a Mosul neighborhood] in Nineveh province. Five people were killed and eight were injured," the statement said.
Mosul was captured by the Islamic State terror group (banned in Russia) 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.
