Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] At least 12 people were killed and 15 were injured as a result of an armed attack by militants from the Islamic State group on a settlement in the Diyala province in eastern Iraq. This was reported on October 26 by the news portal SHAFAQ News.

The attack took place near the town of al-Mikdadi,
...alternate spelling Miqdadiyah...
located about 110 kilometers from Baghdad. Terrorists attacked a group of young people in the village of Rashad and began firing at residential buildings with various types of weapons. The militants retreated only after the Iraqi army came to the aid of the villagers.

It is clarified that the death toll may increase, since so far only part of the wounded have been hospitalized.

Earlier, IA REGNUM reported on the elimination of eight terrorists on the territory of Iraq, in the province of Kirkuk.
Rudaw adds:
The group said on its Telegram propaganda channels on Tuesday that its militants targeted Sunni fighters of Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi) in Diyala’s Saadiya area the previous day, “killing a fighter and injuring two others.”
Update from An Nahar at 3:30 p.m. from An Nahar:
Gunmen from the Islamic State extremist group attacked a village northeast of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 11 civilians and wounding six others, Iraqi security officials said.

The officials said the attack occurred in the predominantly Shiite village of al-Rashad northeast of Baqouba in Diyala province. The circumstances of the attack were not immediately clear, but two officials who spoke to The Associated Press said Islamic State group militants had kidnapped two villagers earlier and then raided the village when their demands for ransom were not met.

Machine guns were used in the attack, they added, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. They said all the dead and wounded were civilians.
