Russia slams US for Mosul's 'chaotic' evacuation
The US-led coalition's "chaotic" and "spontaneous" evacuation of civilians from Iraq's Mosul may have caused increased casualties, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said. This comes after Iraq's PM Haider al-Abadi announced the liberation of Mosul last week. More than 8,000 civilians were killed or wounded in Mosul, while over 9 lakh were forced to flee, according to UN officials.
