Kurdish forces fire into Islamic State-controlled Mosul
 

Kurdish forces have fired rockets into Mosul for the first time since Islamic State militants overran the **rthern Iraqi city last summer, Kurdish military sources said on Saturday. A Kurdish ******r said 20 Grad missiles had been launched into Mosul on Friday after receiving information that Islamic State militants were gathering to meet near the city's Zuhour neighborhood. "We hit their positions," said Captain Shivan Ahmed, who belongs to the unit that fired the rockets from around 20 kilometers (12 miles) **rth of Mosul. Kurdish officials said the strikes had hit their intended target, but two residents of Mosul contacted by Reuters said three civilians were killed in the attack.
