ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The US confirmed the death of an American soldier supporting Iraqi armed forces from wounds sustained in an explosion outside the embattled city of Mosul on Saturday.
A statement by combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve detailed “A U.S. service member died from wounds sustained in an explosive device blast outside of Mosul, Iraq, Apr. 29, 2017.”
The statement also said that “further information will be released as appropriate.”
