No group has claimed responsibility for the blast which has the hallmarks of the Daesh terrorist group.
Daesh unleashed a campaign of death and destruction in Iraq in 2014, seizing Mosul and declaring it as its so-called “capital” in the Middle Eastern state.
Iraqi army soldiers and allied fighters have been leading a major campaign to rid the country of the Takfiri elements.
The Iraqi forces fully liberated Mosul in July. They are now engaged in counter-terrorism operations elsewhere in the country.
