A strike in western Iraq has killed fighters from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, a source from the group tells AFP.

Seven fighters from the Hashed al-Shaabi, also known as the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), were “killed and 13 wounded in a US strike” targeting their base in western Anbar province, a PMF source said.

The PMF is now part of Iraq’s regular army, but also includes some pro-Iranian groups.
