The cell indicated that the accident occurred in the village of al-Atashana, in Daquq District, south of Kirkuk Governorate.

This development comes a few days after the visit of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kizmi to the headquarters of the joint operations in the Kirkuk region to oversee the launch of "Heroes of Iraq" operations.

The "Heroes of Iraq" operation aims to enhance security and stability, dry up the sources of terrorism, and pursue the remnants of ISIS terrorist remnants in the southwestern areas of Kirkuk and the boundaries between the provinces of Salah al-Din and Kirkuk.

Recently, ISIS attacks have intensified in areas known as the Triangle of Death, between the provinces of Diyala, Kirkuk and Salah al- Din.
