Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces says a number of its official headquarters in different parts of Iraq were attacked on Wednesday by what it described as US and Saudi forces.

The Iran-backed PMF says preliminary reports indicated several people were killed and others wounded, with damage to a number of its buildings and facilities.

Saudi Arabia confirms participation in the joint strikes which the US said was launched in response to Iranian Guard-directed attacks on US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.

In a post on social media, the Saudi Defense Ministry warns that “the Kingdom emphasizes that it does not seek escalation but will respond to any aggression it faces.”
