On 30 September, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) said the PMF joined security forces in a sovereignty-day procession in Kirkuk. Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) publicized preparations involving resistance supporters and later described a PMF military parade in Kirkuk as celebrating the expulsion of U.S. forces, adding “By God, we will not leave them.” Its footage shows vehicles with mounted weapons and personnel making victory gestures, but does not independently establish the procession’s location.
