At least 11 people have been killed and several others sustained injuries in two separate terrorist attacks in Iraq’s Nineveh and Kirkuk provinces.

Iraq’s Arabic-language al-Sumeria satellite television network, citing an unnamed security source, reported that an assailant, wearing Iraqi police uniform, drove an explosives-laden vehicle into a security checkpoint in a district in the western part of Kirkuk’s provincial capital of the same name on Thursday.

It added that at least three Iraqi Federal Police forces lost their lives and four others were wounded in the explosion.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet, but it bears the hallmark of attacks carried out by the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group.

Meanwhile, Ahmad al-Jubouri, a former parliamentarian for the northwestern province of Nineveh, said that earlier in the day, a group of Daesh terrorists had attacked al-Khoain Village in the vicinity of the province’s capital, Mosul, killing all eight members of a family.
