Iraqi forces recapture Mosul airport

Iraqi forces have regained control of the airport in Mosul, part of a months-long operation to push ISIS militants from the key city.

The airport is now fully under Iraqi Federal Police control, the commander of the Rapid Response Unit of the Federal Police, Col. Abdel Amir Mohamed, said.

Forces launched a new bid to take the western areas of the city from the militant group on Sunday after declaring in late January that the east had been liberated, CNN reported.
