Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces said at least 20 fighters were killed and 32 wounded on Wednesday in joint US-Saudi attacks on its headquarters across the country.
The strikes hit its official facilities in the provinces of Baghdad, Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk, Karbala and Diyala, the group said in a statement. The attacks caused damage to buildings, military vehicles and equipment, said the PMF, an umbrella organisation of mostly Iran-backed armed factions formally integrated into Iraq’s security forces.
