An explosion at the Kalsu military base, located south of Baghdad, resulted in the death of one member of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) and left eight others injured. The PMU, a predominantly Shiite Iranian-backed paramilitary force in Iraq, was responsible for the site where the explosion occurred, according to local authorities.
The cause of the blast remains unknown, with both Israeli and US officials denying involvement. The incident took place following a recent military strike on Iran attributed to Israel.
