Islamic State militants in Northern Iraq have reportedly killed at least 80 Yazidi Iraqis in a village and kidnapped many women and children.

According to the BBC, IS militants entered Kocho area on Friday, telling men to either convert to Islam or die.

Islamic State activities have shocked the international community.

The UN security council earlier imposed sanctions on IS militants.

The United Sates had reportedly destroyed two vehicles of the IS militants through drone attacks.

Meanwhile, there was violence in the Sunni Anbar province, west of Baghdad where some parts are under IS control.
