The Islamic State group, ISIS, staged an attack early Monday in Kirkuk province and killed one police officer, Anadolu reports citing an official of internal security in the province.
Afrasyav Kamil in statement reportedly indicated the terror group targeted a federal police observation post, near Mansuriyah al-Jabal village in south of the province.
The attack is the latest from a string of the assaults in recent moments on security forces in Kirkuk, Mosul, Anbar, Salahuddin and Diyala provinces.
Iraq in late 2017 claimed victory over the terror group but the jihadists are still staging sporadic attacks that have caused death of hundreds of Iraqis and dozens security forces.
