US strike in western Iraq said to kill 7 members of former paramilitary coalition

A strike in western Iraq kills fighters from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, a source from the group tells AFP.

Seven fighters from the Hashed al-Shaabi, also known as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), were “killed and 13 wounded in a US strike” targeting their base in western Anbar province, a PMF source says.

The PMF is now part of Iraq’s regular army, but also includes some pro-Iranian groups.
