ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - At least one member of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) was killed and two others injured Tuesday in an explosion reportedly caused by leftover war remnants from the Islamic State (ISIS) stored at a PMF depot in southern Baghdad, the organization said.
In a statement, the PMF’s Directorate for Combating Explosives, said one of its members “was martyred and two others were injured as a result of an accidental explosion that occurred while conducting a technical duty in the Juraf al-Nadaf area in Baghdad."
The Directorate said the explosion was triggered by “explosive materials left behind by the terrorist ISIS gangs, which were stored inside one of the Directorate's headquarters” in the southern part of the capital.
