Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) on Monday confirmed the death of one of its fighters after a mortar shell exploded inside the Tikrit Air Academy (Camp Speicher) in Saladin province.
The group mourned Sattar Jabbar al-Abadi, known as “Aed,” describing him as a “martyr fighter” from the PMF’s sixth brigade.
Earlier today, a security source told Shafaq News that the incident occurred while personnel were cleaning an area around a guard tower and burning dry grass inside the base, leaving three people injured.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the incident.
