Roadside bomb kills three soldiers in northern Iraq

BAGHDAD: A roadside bomb targeting an Iraqi army vehicle killed three soldiers in northern Iraq on Sunday, police and hospital sources said.
The attack near the town of Tuz Khurmatu, about 175 km (110 miles) north of the capital Baghdad, critically wounded two others, they said.
The Daesh militant group claimed responsibility.
Its news agency, Amaq, said two senior officers and a soldier had been killed and three others wounded.
Daesh was defeated in 2017 after seizing swathes of Iraq and Syria, but remnants continue to conduct hit-and-run attacks against government forces.
