At least seven soldiers were killed and 13 others wounded following an airstrike on a military hospital in Iraq's western Anbar province. The official report was confirmed by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the Associated Press, the identity of those responsible for the strike remains unknown. The Ministry of Defense has not yet released further details regarding the specific circumstances of the incident or the origin of the aircraft involved.
Anbar province, the largest in Iraq by area, has historically been a focal point for security operations due to its strategic location bordering Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. While large-scale combat operations have subsided in recent years, the region continues to see sporadic activity from militant remnants and international coalition forces. This latest incident underscores the ongoing volatility in Iraq's western desert regions, where military infrastructure remains a high-priority target for various regional actors.
