ISIS militants have attacked two villages in Dibis, north of Kirkuk, according to a Rudaw reporter. 

The two villages are Makha and Twelha.

It is not clear whether Iraqi or Kurdish forces were in control of the two villages when the attack took place.

The move by the militants comes as Iraqi forces took control of Kirkuk after Peshmerga withdrew their forces.
