At least 10 members of Iraqi paramilitary force killed in reported strikes
At least 10 members of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) were killed in strikes across multiple Iraqi provinces. Officials indicate the death toll may increase as reports of additional casualties emerge.
At least 10 members of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) have been killed following a series of strikes across several Iraqi provinces. According to officials cited by Middle East Eye, the most significant casualties occurred in Nineveh province. While the report attributes these strikes to a joint US-Saudi operation, the information remains preliminary, and officials have stated that the total death toll is expected to rise as further reports from other provinces are processed.
The PMF, a state-sponsored umbrella organization of various militias in Iraq, has been a frequent point of tension in regional security dynamics. The strikes reportedly targeted multiple locations simultaneously, suggesting a coordinated effort. However, there has been no immediate official confirmation or detailed statement from US or Saudi authorities regarding their involvement in these specific operations. Because the information currently relies on accounts from PMF members and local officials, the full scope of the damage and the specific nature of the military assets involved remain unverified by independent international observers. The situation is evolving, and the discrepancy between the reported scale of the attacks and the lack of official acknowledgment from the alleged participating nations remains a central point of uncertainty.
