(ISIS) in a house in Baaj, Nineveh province went kaboom! on Sunday, killing at least four children and trapping more family members under rubble.

"The house has been abandoned for several years; its owner left the area, and the family recently rented it to work there. This morning, while cleaning the garden, a remnant ISIS bomb went kaboom! in one of the rooms, killing four members of the family, aged between 5 and 15," Ahmed said.

A source from the hospital in Baaj told Rudaw the family consists of 12 people, four of the children are dead and one is severely injured. More family members are believed to be under the house's rubble - their fate is unknown.

Mohammed Kakayi, the head of the security and defense committee of the Nineveh provincial council, confirmed to Rudaw that "the bomb was a remnant of ISIS, which went kaboom!..."
