Seven members of Iraq's security forces died in an attack on a military base in the country. The base housed Iraqi police, Iraqi army soldiers, and members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (Kuwat al-Hashid al-Shaabi), according to a security official speaking to AFP news agency. The Popular Mobilization Forces are a state-sanctioned paramilitary organization primarily composed of Shia militias that were formally integrated into Iraq's security apparatus following their role in fighting the Islamic State group.
