The bodies included six policemen and members of the paramilitary Hashd Shaabi forces.
The latest deterioration in security led to criticism of the Iraqi security forces for failing to stop the repeated IS attacks on soldiers and civilians, and the kidnapping of dozens of people at fake checkpoints on a main road between Baghdad and Kirkuk.
During the past months, hundreds of IS militants fled their former urban strongholds in Mosul, Salahudin Province and Hawija area in the west of Kirkuk, after Iraqi forces took over these regions in major offensives.
On Dec. 9, 2017, Abadi officially declared full liberation of Iraq from IS after Iraqi forces recaptured all the areas once seized by the extremist group.
However, small groups of IS militants have since regrouped in rugged areas, carrying out attacks against security forces and civilians from time to time.
