SULAIMANI — A shepherd was killed when a mine exploded near
Nineveh governorate’s Gayara district on Tuesday (August 24).
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said that it
was not immediately clear whether the mine was newly laid or was left over from
the time when the Islamic State (ISIS) militant group controlled the area.
The Iraqi Security Forces have a base near the village.
Unexploded ordnance is a major problem in Iraq and the
Kurdistan Region, causing numerous deaths and injuries each year.
