Militants shot down an Iraqi military helicopter on Wednesday, killing four security forces members, as at least 14 people died in other violence, officials said.
The helicopter was shot down during a large-scale operation against militants in a desert area west of Baiji, north of Baghdad, killing two crew members and two soldiers who were on board, army officers said.
Helicopters are periodically hit by gunfire during operations, including one last month in which a pilot was wounded.
In the northern city of Kirkuk, a car bomb detonated near the governorate headquarters, killing two people and wounding 15.
In Nineveh province, also in the north, attacks killed three people, and soldiers shot one militant dead. Violence in Diyala province left two people dead and two wounded.
