Another airstrike targeted a militia convoy linked to the pro-Iran Popular Mobilization Forces north of Baghdad, according to local reports in Iraq early Saturday. The strike, which occurred at 1:12 a.m. local time, killed six people and critically wounded three others, Reuters reported, citing an Iraqi army source. An Iraqi military source also confirmed the attack with The Associated Press. Iraq’s PMF said in a statement that those killed in the strike were medics with the paramilitary group, not senior leaders, Reuters reported. Leaders in Iran called for three days of mourning over the attacks and warned of “forceful revenge.”
