Reuters: explosion at Hashd al-Shaabi headquarters in Baghdad caused deaths and injuries

An explosion at a Hashed al-Shaabi facility in Baghdad killed one person and wounded four, a security source and a medical source told Reuters. According to that report, the casualties were members of the militia.

Hashed al-Shaabi previously said an old ammunition depot had detonated and that the blast "caused no human casualties," according to a BBC Telegram post cited in the Manshur items.

Background: Hashed al-Shaabi is a coalition of mainly Shia militia groups formally integrated into Iraq’s state security forces. Several groups in the coalition have close ties to Iran. (Source: BBC Telegram, as cited by Manshur; Reuters reporting attributed to a security and a medical source.)
