Three gunmen were killed during a possible Islamic State attack on the Erbil provincial government building. A civilian employee was killed as well, and five security personnel were wounded. Local officials gave conflicting reports as to the nature of the attack. The counter-terrorism directorate claimed the attackers were Kurdish high school students and not members of ISIS/Daesh.
