Alwaght- Some units of the Iraqi elite forces managed to seize the control of a TV station in Mosul after heavy fighting with the ISIS terrorists.
The members of the Counter Terrorism Services (CTS) launched an attack on the village where the TV station is located and after liberating the village from ISIS terrorists, gained the control over TV station.
"We finished clearing Gogjali and took control of the Mosul television station building," Staff Lieutenant General Abdelwahab al-Saadi said on Tuesday.
Major General Sami al-Aridi also confirmed the recapture of the TV station in Mosul, located in an eastern district of the city.
He noted that the advance on Mosul came after heavy fighting near the state TV building as Iraqi forces tried to push into more urban areas of the city.
The TV station is the first important building in Mosul that has been retaken by Iraqi troops since the beginning of the liberation operation.
