Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) The US-led international coalition announced on Saturday destructing 90 boats and three ships belonging to the Islamic State group in eastern Mosul.

The spokesman for the Joint Task Force, Colonel John Dorian said in a press statement, “We thought terminating the members and leaders of the Islamic State is hard.”

“These boats were used to transport the Islamic State’s members from eastern Mosul to its Western side, to flee from Iraqi security forces,” Dorian added.

Nineveh Province is witnessing wide-scale military operations to retake the city of Mosul from the Islamic State’s grip that captured the city in June 2014.
