© Licensed to London News Pictures. 11/09/2015. Kirkuk, Iraq. Kurdish peshmerga humvees are seen near a burning haystack during an offensive by the peshmerga to expand a safety zone around Kirkuk, Iraq.

The offensive, which went unchallenged after ISIS left the area ahead of the attack, saw the peshmerga capture 15 villages along the Kirkuk front line. The objective of the offensive was to expand the safety zone around Kirkuk, stopping militants from firing missiles and rockets in to the city of Kirkuk. 3 peshmerga were killed and 24 wounded due to improvised explosive devices left behind by the militants.
