Airstrikes targeting a site belonging to Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces in the western province of Anbar killed at least 10 fighters, including the PMF’s Anbar operations commander, and wounded 30 others, security and health sources told Reuters.

The PMF confirmed in a statement the death of its Anbar commander, Saad al-Baiji, and several of his companions. It accused the United States of carrying out the attack, saying a US airstrike targeted a command headquarters while personnel were on duty.
