Militia outlets report 20 dead in strikes on PMF sites

Sabereen News and Unit 10,000 (both KH — affiliated) published an identical initial toll of 20 killed and 32 wounded from what they called "Saudi-American terrorist aggression" against PMF headquarters in Baghdad, Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk, Karbala and Diyala, while Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) reported 10 killed and 6 wounded in Nineveh alone

WHAT HAPPENED

Within one minute of each other this morning, Sabereen News and Unit 10,000 (both KH — affiliated) posted a graphic with the identical wording "initial toll of the Saudi–American terrorist aggression against the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces — 20 martyrs, 32 wounded," naming facilities in Baghdad, Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk, Karbala and Diyala. Roughly ten minutes later Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) posted a separate, differently worded figure: "the martyrdom of 10 members and the wounding of 6 others of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the aggression on Nineveh." Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) subsequently published imagery it captioned "scenes documenting the effects of the treacherous aggression on Martyr Abu Muntazer Camp in Diyala," and Asaib Ahl al-Haq (AAH — official) posted a memorial card for "the heroic martyr Jafar Aziz" among "the martyrs of the American–Saudi aggression." No supplied evidence contains an Iraqi or foreign official statement, press reporting, or any claim of responsibility for the strikes.

WATCH

Watch: an Iraqi government or PMF Commission casualty statement, a Saudi or U.S. acknowledgement or denial, independent reporting from any of the seven named provinces, and a reconciled provincial breakdown of the 20 figure — any of these moves this file.
