On 4 August, two militia-linked outlets reported that the Popular Mobilization Forces' Anbar Sector Operations Command had ended its duties in Karbala and returned to Anbar. Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) posted first at 17:46, with an image that visual review describes as a Popular Mobilization Forces institutional news graphic carrying the body's emblem and government website; Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) posted the same sentence at 17:47. The rung is held to preponderance because the two carriages are word-for-word identical and therefore not independent lines, and no outside coverage of the movement appears in the collected material.

whether the returning formation is reported concentrated in Anbar or redistributed within 72 hours; whether any faction adds an editorial line of its own to the movement rather than relaying the announcement; whether any Anbar-area incident or claim under a named brand follows; and whether outside coverage of the redeployment appears — any of these moves this file.
