Two airstrikes hit same PMF position in Nineveh within hours
NINEVEH — Two airstrikes targeted the same Popular Mobilization Forces position in Nineveh within less than 24 hours, the PMF said Thursday, reporting no casualties.
The PMF said the 4th Regiment of the 14th Brigade under Nineveh Operations Command was struck at 7:50 p.m. Wednesday and again at 5:20 a.m. Thursday, describing both as joint U.S.-Israeli attacks.
The strikes follow an airstrike Wednesday evening that killed the commando regiment commander of the 53rd Brigade and another fighter in Tal Afar, also in Nineveh. On Tuesday, two fighters were killed and four wounded in a strike on Brigade 17 in Rutba district, Anbar. Consecutive strikes on Habbaniyah base last week killed 22 military personnel over two days. Neither the United States nor Israel has publicly claimed responsibility for any of the strikes on Iraqi security forces.
