Tensions in Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk rose to alarming levels on Monday as troops sent by Baghdad advanced against Kurdish forces. Footage has appeared in media showing intense overnight clashes the night before. Reports say Iraqi forces are now in control of a significant portion of the city. Kurds have vowed that Baghdad would pay a “heavy price” for a campaign which is seen to have come in response to the controversial Kurdish independence vote last month.
