MOSUL, Iraq – Two suicide bombings have struck the left bank of Mosul, killing at least nine, including an Iraqi army officer, and injuring others, an intelligence source with the Iraqi army told Rudaw.

The first suicide bomber detonated a suicide belt inside a restaurant in the city’s Zahur district.

The second explosion was a car bomb that blew up near an Iraqi army position in the city’s Noor neighborhood.

A travel ban has now been imposed in both neighborhoods, which are located in northeast Mosul.
