"Explosion Rocks Iraqi PMF Military Base"

A massive explosion occurred at a military base used by Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) south of Baghdad, with reports suggesting it was targeted by airstrikes. The attack, allegedly carried out by drones and F-35 jets, caused material damage but no casualties. The PMF, an Iranian-backed militia with over 100,000 fighters, has become an official government-paid force in Iraq since the defeat of ISIS, posing a threat to US and Israeli forces.
