An improvised Explosive Device (IED) went off on a street in Kirkuk on Friday, killing at least one police officer.

The explosive device was reportedly placed under the fuel tank of an electricity generator, and it went off while a police vehicle was passing by.

Islamic State (IS) remains the main suspect as the group has recently increased the terrorist attacks across the disputed Kurdish areas.
