Three strikes target Iraqi fighters south of Baghdad: Official

Three strikes south of Iraq's capital Baghdad late on Sunday targeted fighters from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, local authorities said.

The alliance, also known as the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), is part of Iraq's regular armed forces, but also includes some pro-Iranian groups.

"Units of the PMF were targeted by drone strikes and airstrikes, with three strikes in different locations," said a statement from a local emergency crisis cell, adding that the positions were deserted and there were no casualties.
