Iraqi forces recapture government offices in Mosul

The Federal Police command said in a statement that the forces took over the water and sewage department's offices along with the police directorate and the courts complex in western Mosul's district of Dindan, Iraqi News reported.

Earlier on Monday, Iraqi forces recaptured al-Sumoud district before storming the nearby al-Mansour, all near the city centre.

Mosul fell to IS militants in 2014, and had been proclaimed as the capital of the group's "Islamic Caliphate" before Iraqi forces recaptured the eastern part in January.
