Security forces have said, an air strike has killed at least 20 Iraqi pro-government Sunni tribal fighters in an area south of Mosul. It was unclear whether it was the Iraqi military or the US-led coalition against the Islamic State terror group that mistakenly hit the fighters.
The raid occured in the east of the town of Qayyarah, which was recaptured from IS in August. The strike comes as an alliance of Iraqi forces prepare for a final push to retake Mosul from IS. Mosul is the last major IS stronghold in Iraq.
