Over 200 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in airstrikes in the Mosul neighborhood of al-Jadida, the Rudaw Media Network reported on Thursday.
130 people have been killed in one house in the neighborhood and about 100 others inside another, the media network reported citing its correspondent.
“Some of the dead were taking shelter inside the homes,” Rudaw’s correspondent reported from the ground.
The airstrikes were most likely delivered by the US-led coalition which had dramatically increased airstrikes against targets in Mosul amid a lack of progress of Iraqi forces in the battle against the ISIS terrorist group.
