On 16 August 2026 Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) reported the arrest of protesters from the al-Imarat al-Milh area in central Maysan, and Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) then reported both an arrest campaign against protesters and activists in Maysan and the burning of a Maysan police point in al-Imarat. Two independent militia-linked outlets therefore named arrests in the same locality; only Watan TV added the fire. No press report in the collected window matched either account, and neither outlet named who burned the police point.
