Affiliates of Islamic State have attacked a polling station in Iraq’s northern Kirkuk Governorate, injuring a police officer, the Iraqi Al-Sumaria TV reports.

A security source told Sputnik on Sunday that two Iraqi soldiers were injured as a result of an armed attack at a polling station in the eastern province of Diyala. The Iraqi security services said later in the day that a soldier mistakenly shot one comrade and injured another one.
