Members of the Daesh/ISIS terror group killed two police officers in Iraq's Kirkuk province in an armed attack, a security source told Anadolu Agency on Friday.
The incident took place at a security checkpoint in Rasheed village, the source said.
The assailants managed to escape. One other police officer was injured.
In mid-2014, Daesh/ISIS overran roughly one-third of Iraq, including the northern city of Mosul.
By late 2017, the Iraqi army -- with the help of the U.S.-led military coalition -- recovered most if not all the territories lost to the terrorist group.
Although officials in Baghdad say Daesh/ISIS' presence in the country has been largely eradicated, the terrorist group has continued to stage sporadic attacks in Iraq's Nineveh, Kirkuk, Diyala, Saladin and Anbar provinces.
