On 1 October, Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated/aligned media) reported that a PMF force discovered and detonated ISIS remnants in the al-Sawwar desert in Anbar province. Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official owned media) and Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official owned media) carried matching reports that the PMF found highly explosive materials and dealt with them there. These publications establish the reported operation and the difference in wording, rather than independently confirming the discovery.

The ISIS-remnants description distinguishes Unit 10,000’s account from a generic explosives-discovery report and identifies the operation as reported disposal of existing remnants, not a militia attack claim.
