Iraq: 15 Dead in Strikes on Pro-Iran PMF in Anbar

Airstrikes targeting a facility belonging to the Iraqi Shia Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in the western Anbar province of Iraq have killed at least 15 fighters, including the PMF's operations commander in the area. The PMF blamed the United States for the attack, while health sources reported that several wounded are in critical condition and the death toll may rise. The attack took place at a PMF headquarters during a meeting of senior commanders. Separately, six Kurdish Peshmerga fighters were killed and 22 wounded in a rocket attack on their base in Iraqi Kurdistan, with responsibility remaining unclear.
