Iraqi forces make first push into Mosul

East of Mosul, Iraq, Oct 31 (Reuters) Advancing Iraqi troops broke through Islamic State defences in an eastern suburb of Mosul today, taking the battle for the insurgents' stronghold into the city limits for the first time, a force commander said.
The fighting came after two weeks of advances by US-backed Iraqi forces who cleared surrounding areas of insurgents, in the early stages of the largest military operation in Iraq since the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.
Commanders have said the battle for the city, the hardline militants' last big bastion in Iraq, could take months.
