Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces said an airstrike on its command headquarters in western Anbar province killed 15 fighters, including Anbar operations commander Saad Dawai al-Baiji, and blamed the United States.
Why it matters
The strike hit a coalition that is formally part of Iraq's state forces and whose factions have launched drones at bases housing U.S. troops, raising the risk of a wider U.S. clash with Iraqi groups.
