Airstrike hits PMF brigade headquarters in Baiji
SALAH AL-DIN — Two airstrikes hit the headquarters of the PMF’s 31st Brigade in the Al-Siniya area of Baiji district, Salah Al-Din, on Tuesday evening, wounding seven people and completely destroying the facility, the PMF said.
“At 17:50, the headquarters of the 31st Brigade — which also includes the security headquarters and the brigade’s special regiment headquarters — was subjected to two treacherous strikes by Zionist-American warplanes, resulting in seven wounded as a preliminary toll and the complete damage of the headquarters,” the PMF said.
The strike is the latest in a day of widespread attacks across Iraq. Iranian ballistic missiles killed six Peshmerga fighters and wounded about 30 near Soran in Erbil governorate early Tuesday. An airstrike in Anbar killed PMF Anbar operations commander Saad Daway al-Baiji and 14 others, prompting Prime Minister Sudani to convene an emergency national security meeting. Separate strikes hit PMF positions in Babil and Mosul, and an airstrike on the Iranian side of the Shalamcheh border crossing near Basra wounded five truck drivers including two Iraqis.
