More than 400 Yazidi men have been killed and their families abducted by militants in northern Iraq, local officials have said.
A senior official at the Ministry of Peshmerga in the Kurdish-controlled region of the country told Sky News women and children had been seized by the fighters from Islamic State (IS), also known as Islamic State In Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and taken to Tal Afar, near Mosul.
The men from the village of Kocho were reportedly killed over two days - 82 on Friday and another 312 on Saturday, the officials said.
Earlier, Yazidi fighter Mohsen Tawwal told AFP by telephone that he had seen a large number of bodies after entering the village.
"We made it into a part of Kocho village, where residents were under siege, but we were too late," he said.
"There were corpses everywhere. We only managed to get two people out alive. The rest had all been killed."
Thousands of Yazidis - people from a minority sect with an ancient religion - have been forced to flee their homes by the IS advance across northern Iraq.
