Royal Air Force aircraft managed to destroy several targets of the terrorist Daesh organization in Iraq's Mosul city, the UK Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

On Monday, a Tornado flying over Mosul dropped a 1000lb bomb on Daesh fighters laying booby-trap bombs.

On the same day, Typhoons hit four sniper positions. The Iraqi forces reported direct hits on all four targets.

And a Reaper spotted a group of Daesh fighters travelling on motorcycles, and followed them until they joined forces with a number of other extremists before killing them with a Hellfire.

Spokesman for the UK Ministry of Defense said: "With Iraqi forces liberating the key towns of Qaraqosh and Bartallah east of Mosul, Royal Air Force aircraft have continued to provide close air support, including to Kurdish forces pressing against Mosul from the north."
