Airstrikes targeting a site belonging to Iraq's Shi'ite Popular Mobilization Forces in the western province of Anbar killed at least 15 fighters, including the PMF's Anbar operations commander, and wounded 30 others, security and health sources told Reuters early on Tuesday.
The PMF confirmed in a statement the death of its Anbar commander, Saad al-Baiji, and 14 of his companions. It accused the United States of carrying out the attack, saying a U.S. airstrike targeted a command headquarters while personnel were on duty.
