Anadolu Agency reporters caught in Kirkuk crossfire

KIRKUK, IRAQ - OCTOBER 20: Iraqi forces clash with Peshmerga forces in Kirkuk’s northern Altunkopru sub-district on October 20, 2017. Several Anadolu Agency correspondents narrowly escaped with their lives on Friday after numerous mortar shells crashed to earth not far from where they were standing on northern Iraq’s volatile Erbil-Kirkuk highway. As Iraqi forces seized control of Kirkuk’s northern Altunkopru sub-district Friday morning, the Anadolu Agency team -- along with several reporters from other news agencies -- was caught in the crossfire between the Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga forces. While none of them suffered any injuries, the team’s vehicle was slightly damaged by flying shrapnel and shell fragments. (Footage by /Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
