Drone footage shows destruction in western Mosul

(6 Apr 2017) Aerial footage of Mosul's Dawasa neighbourhood has revealed the massive scale of the destruction left by the fighting of the previous weeks.
Buildings in the centre of town have been reduced to rubble and thousands have been displaced.
The Iraqi military is battling Islamic State group in a final push to take control of the remaining areas in the west of Mosul still held by the extremist group.
For about a week there was no major movement on the frontlines, but Iraqi troops have been firing intense artillery and mortar bursts into the IS-held territory.
