Assailants fire a mortar round, striking a water facility in Mosul city, Nineveh governorate, Iraq. One security guard is killed in the attack, and the facility is damaged. This is one of 32 coordinated incidents across Iraq on the same day. Al-Qa’ida in Iraq claims responsibility for the attacks, stating that they are in retaliation for the torture and genocide that Sunni civilians face in Iraqi prisons.
