2 army officers killed, 3 injured in ISIS attack in Iraq’s Kirkuk
ISTANBUL (AA): Two army officers were killed and three soldiers injured in an attack by the ISIS in Kirkuk, Iraq, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Sunday.
A ministry statement said the attackers opened fire on a military checkpoint near the town of Tal al-Ward in Kirkuk late Saturday.
Iraqi authorities have launched an investigation into the attack.
In 2017, Iraq declared victory over the ISIS, saying it had reclaimed all territories captured by the group since the summer of 2014, estimated to be about a third of the country’s total area.
The group, however, still has sleeper cells in Iraq that launch sporadic attacks on civilians, security forces, infrastructure, and other targets.
