TEHRAN, Jun. 11 (MNA) – Five people were killed and injured following the attack of ISIL terrorists on Iraq's police forces on Sunday.

ISIL terrorists targeted the Iraqi Federal Police base in the Dibis District of Kirkuk province on early Sunday.

The terrorists used light and semi-heavy weapons during the attack, according to the reports.

Two officers were killed and three others were injured following the incident.

ISIL, which attacked Iraq on June 7, 2014, and managed to capture about 45% of the country's territory for a short period of time, was defeated in November 2017; However, since then, the remanent members of the terrorist group are still present and operating in Iraq and Syria and carry out terrorist activities from time to time.

Iraqi security forces keep searching, clearing, and chasing ISIL across the country to make sure that ISIL and its escaped elements do not re-emerge.
