Shafaq News- Al-Anbar A new airstrike targeted positions of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in al-Qaim district of Iraq’s western al-Anbar province on Monday, according to a security source. The source said drones, believed to be US-operated, struck sites belonging to the PMF’s 18th and 19th brigades within the al-Qaim sector through several consecutive strikes. The bombardment forced the closure of roads leading to the location of the first strike and halted vehicle movement in the area. Earlier, al-Qaim city was hit by another airstrike, also believed to be carried out by the United States, which killed seven PMF members and wounded 13 others.
