Iraq
Yezidi convoy says it was ambushed by Iraqi Army in Shingal
2019-03-19
It looks like the clashes reported yesterday were more complicated than originally presented.
[Rudaw] The Iraqi Army and a Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK)-linked group skirmished on Sunday night in Shingal, with each side claiming that two of their fighters were killed, as the Yezidi militia says their convoy was ambushed on their way to a meeting.

Mahma Khalil, Shingal mayor told Rudaw TV on Sunday night that the festivities occurred when a Shingal Protection Units (YBS) military vehicle came under fire from the Iraqi Army as it was attempting to cross into Iraq.

Khalil said as a result of the one-hour fight two YBS fighters were killed and three others maimed. He added one Iraqi Army soldier was killed and another was maimed.
