(MENAFN) Mohammed sits in his home in a liberated area of eastern Mosul, but still fears to go into the streets. Islamic State (IS) militants may have left, but their ability to inflict pain and terror remains very real.
A new threat hangs above those who survived two and a half years of brutal rule - ever more sophisticated drone aircraft sent from the group's western stronghold, which kill and maim indiscriminately.
"The drones come every day now, on some days every two to three hours," the 19-year-old told Middle East Eye.
"Yesterday my neighbour's wife was clearing out the garage when a grenade fell from an IS drone. She got a lot of shrapnel in her legs and the doctors say they might have to amputate."
