The attack, carried out with automatic weapons by “members [du groupe] Islamic State”, occurred around 4:00 am (1:00 UT), said a military official who requested anonymity. It was not immediately claimed. “Three soldiers, including two officers were killed, and four other soldiers were injured in the attack on their barracks located in Wadi al-Naft”, about 25 km west of the city of Kirkuk (North), an oil extraction area, reported this senior officer. The sector of the attack, between Kirkuk, a city held by the federal government, and the autonomous region of Kurdistan of Iraq is part of these bordering areas disputed by the two entities.
