Four killed in clashes over disputed police headquarters in Iraq's Kirkuk

Clashes erupted during protests over the disputed handover of a police headquarters building to Kurdish authorities in Kirkuk, Iraq.
Four protesters were killed and over a dozen injured amid clashes between Kurdish and Arab/Turkmen protesters.
The headquarters was seized from the Kurdistan Democratic Party by Iraqi forces in 2017 but was set to be returned.
A curfew was imposed after the violence but has since been lifted as additional security forces were deployed.
The clashes highlight ongoing ethnic tensions in the disputed, oil-rich province of Kirkuk.
