ERBIL — An improvised explosive device (IED) on Saturday killed a 14-year-old Yezidi boy near Sinjar, reports said.
The incident took place in Talbanat residential complex outside Sinjar, north of Nineveh province.
The explosive device was reportedly left from years ago when the Islamic State (IS) was in control of the region.
It was not clear if the explosion was triggered by the victim trying to move the object, or if it went off like a land mine or booby trap.
