Iraqi Army resumes operations to retake Mosul from Daesh
Baghdad - Arab Today
Iraqi government forces have resumed their push towards western Mosul, the last major stronghold of Daesh in Iraq, the BBC reported.
Artillery fire could be heard in the distance.
Launching the operation on Sunday, the army seized several villages.
The eastern part of the city was liberated from Daesh last month after heavy fighting.
Thousands of troops are involved in the assault, backed by artillery and air power.
Their progress has been slowed down by huge improvised explosive devices planted by IS along the route of the offensive, our correspondent says.
Bomb disposal teams are being used to clear them.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
