The alliance, also known as the Popular Mobilization 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,” says a statement from a local emergency crisis cell, adding that the positions were deserted and there were no casualties.
