Blasts reported at Iraqi warehouse allegedly used by Iran-backed militia
|
[IsraelTimes] Report indicates drone was in area at time of explosion in western Anbar Province, day after alleged strike on group on Syrian side of border and failed missile attack.
Loud explosions were reported early Tuesday at a warehouse in Iraq apparently used by an Shiite militia, seemingly the latest of a string of attacks targeting Iranian-backed groups in western Iraq and eastern Syria.
The explosions were reported near the city of Hit in Anbar Province, northwest of Baghdad.
According to al-Arabiya, an Iraqi officer said there was a drone in the area at the time of the blasts.
It was not clear what the warehouse was storing, but Sky News Arabic reported that after the blast, shells were launched into neighboring areas, indicating an arms depot may have been hit.
There were reports of casualties from the blasts, though it was unclear how many there were.
The warehouse reportedly belonged to the Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iran-backed militia which has blamed both Israel and the US for a recent string of blasts and drone sightings at its bases.
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
