Airstrike in western Anbar kills 7 Iraqi soldiers, wounds 13

The airstrike on the Habbaniyah base, shared by Iraqi forces and Popular Mobilisation Forces, killed 7 and wounded 13 amid escalating US-Iran tensions in Iraq.

  • On Wednesday, a suspected US airstrike struck the Habbaniyah military base in Anbar province, killing seven Iraqi security personnel and wounding 13 others, according to the Iraqi Defense Ministry.
  • This incident follows a deadly strike on Tuesday at the same base that killed 15 PMF fighters, including a commander, as the US continues targeting the Iran-aligned Shia militia coalition.
  • The Iraqi Defense Ministry said the strike targeted the base's military healthcare clinic, calling the attack "a heinous crime" that violated international laws; a military doctor was among those killed.
  • Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani instructed his Foreign Ministry to summon the US chargé d'affaires in Baghdad over the strike, citing the government's prior grant of the "right to respond" to the PMF.
