US-Saudi strikes kill 20 PMF fighters across Iraq

Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) says US-Saudi attacks have killed at least 20 of its fighters and wounded 32 others in strikes across seven provinces.

The PMF said the casualty toll was preliminary and could rise with field assessments under way.

The attacks hit PMF positions in the provinces of Baghdad, Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk, Karbala and Diyala, the state-sanctioned umbrella group of mostly Shia militias said in a statement.

The strikes also caused varying degrees of damage to buildings, vehicles and military equipment.
