Reports by local Iraqi media on Monday said deadly ISIS explosives have targeted civilians in two separate incidents in two areas held by the militant group.

Two civilians were killed and 25 others were wounded after ISIS targeted families with a blast as they attempted to flee the northwest Al-Huwaijeh district in the northern province of Kirkuk, sources told Al-Sumaria News, the Arabic language website for an independent Iraqi TV network.

There are no further details about this deadly incident.

Al-Huwaijeh, Al-Rashad, Al-Zab, Al-Riyadh and Al-Abbasi districts in Kirkuk are all under ISIS control since June 2014.

In another incident, a leader from the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), an Iraqi government-sponsored umbrella of mainly Shiite militias, said a “whole family with children” was killed in a blast at a home in Al-Shurkat, a northern district in Salah Al-Din province.

Jabar Al-Ma’mouri said the family was trying to flee Al-Shurkat and hid in a home laden with explosives. Al-Shurkat is also under ISIS control since June 2014.

He said ISIS have made deserted homes dangerous by planting explosives and by ambushing and targeting fleeing civilians.

This is not the first time that ISIS has targeted civilians.

When the Iraqi government forces waged its operation to liberate the western city of Fallujah in June, ISIS reportedly shot and killed civilians who were trying to flee.
