News - Middle East: The Political Bureau of Ansarullah extended its condolences and support to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq following the martyrdom of the esteemed leader, Hajj Mushtaq Taleb Al-Saadi, and his companion during the recent US occupation raid in Baghdad last Thursday.

Ansarullah's Political Bureau emphasized that this martyrdom underscores the tremendous efforts made by the PMF, across all its units, in opposing the US occupation and backing the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.

On Thursday, an Iraqi security source reported an aerial bombardment by a drone targeting the logistical support headquarters of the PMF's 12th Brigade "Al-Nujaba" near the Iraqi Police College in eastern Baghdad.

Subsequently, a security source and a medical source reported an increase in casualties resulting from the aerial bombardment, with three killed and six wounded.

Additionally, Al-Nujaba Movement announced on Thursday the death of the Assistant Commander of Baghdad Belt Operations at the PMF, Mushtaq Talib Al-Saadi (Abu Taqwa), due to the "cowardly American attack on the logistical support headquarters in Baghdad."

A military spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces blamed the US-led Global Coalition for the strike, describing the attack as a "terrorist action."

Reuters reported that a US official stated that their country conducted an airstrike in Baghdad against "a militia leader responsible for attacks on American forces."
