Iranian-backed forces in Iraq report 20 militants killed in airstrikes

Iraq’s coalition of pro-Iranian Popular Mobilization Forces militias said at least 20 of its fighters were killed and 32 wounded in the US-Saudi strike.

Earlier, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that on July 28, the American and Saudi military carried out a series of targeted attacks on targets of pro-Iranian armed groups in eastern Iraq.

According to CENTCOM, US and Saudi Arabian fighter jets attacked several weapons depots and logistics facilities. The strikes come in response to more than 30 drone attacks in the past 72 hours targeting US military and Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure.

We would like to add that on the afternoon of July 29, the US Embassy in Baghdad issued a warning to American citizens in Iraq. They are advised to monitor local media and follow instructions from Iraqi authorities. The Embassy warns about the possibility of sudden flight cancellations.
