Assailants attacked Yizidi civilians in Sinjar, Nineveh, Iraq. At least 953 people were killed and 5,350 people were abducted in the assault. At least 3,280 of the hostages kidnapped between this incident and a similar incident in Kojo on August 15, 2014 have been released as of May 20, 2018. The whereabouts of the remaining victims are unknown. This was one of three related incidents in Sinjar on this date and one of four attacks in early August 2014 comprising the Sinjar massacre. No group claimed responsibility; however, sources attributed the attack to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
