Iraq says three car bombs have ripped through an outdoor market in Mosul, killing at least 15 civilians and eight policemen.
The Defense Ministry said Thursday’s attack occurred in the eastern Gogjali district, which Iraqi forces retook from Islamic State militants weeks ago as part of a massive operation to drive them from the country’s second largest city.
It did not say whether the explosions were caused by suicide attackers.
