Casualties reported as Islamic State terrorists attacked Hashd al-Shaabi fighters in Diyala

The militiamen of the pro-Iranian Hashd al-Shaabi came under an attack by the Islamic State (IS) in Diyala province on Wednesday evening, with casualties reported.

The incident occurred near Miqdadiyah, Diyala province, where at least one militiaman was killed in the attack and four others were injured, reports said.

No further details are currently available on the raid, and it was not clear if the militiamen were able to kill any insurgents in response to the attack.

The Islamic State has so far continued to target the security forces and civilians in Iraq despite the fact that the extremist group was declared defeated in late 2017.
