An explosion at the Kalsu military base in Babil, Iraq, which houses the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a coalition of pro-Iranian armed groups, resulted in one fatality and eight injuries. The incident occurred overnight and involved several missile strikes, although the exact cause and the party responsible remain unclear. Both the U.S. and Israel have denied involvement in the attack. The base, located approximately 30 miles south of Baghdad, sustained significant damage, and Iraqi authorities are currently investigating the explosion.
