Iraq’s defense ministry and security sources say seven soldiers were killed and 13 others wounded in an airstrike on a site belonging to the Popular Mobilization Force, a coalition of pro-Iran militias that is part of the Iraqi military.
The ministry says the strike, which took place at around 9 a.m. local time, hit a military clinic and a nearby engineering unit at the site in Anbar province.
The ministry condemns the strike as a “blatant and serious violation” of international laws and norms prohibiting attacks on medical facilities and personnel, describing it as a dangerous escalation and calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
It reserves the right to respond in accordance with legal frameworks, the ministry said.
