Overnight airstrikes attributed to the United States and Saudi Arabia struck Popular Mobilization Forces facilities across seven Iraqi provinces on July 29, 2026, killing at least 20 fighters and wounding 32 according to reports from The Hindu and Anadolu Agency. The strikes were described by the United States and Saudi Arabia as a response to prior attacks on U.S. forces and Saudi oil infrastructure, while the Popular Mobilization Forces characterized them as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty. The Popular Mobilization Forces, formed in 2014 and integrated into Iraq's armed forces, sustained damage to bases and equipment.
