This announcement was not surprising to me or to those familiar with the scene in #Syria in particular and the Middle East in general. In my opinion, #Moscow is able to mobilize more than double that number and has already started accepting recruitment requests.

There are two types of militias in the Middle East, one part carrying a religious ideology (like #Hezbollah), and another part in the form of security companies, among which the fighters volunteered for economic reasons (25th Brigade in #Syria).

Initial unconfirmed reports on social media of an airstrike being conducted on the #Iraq/#Syria border.
According to reports a #PMU checkpoint was reportedly struck.
Two vehicles have reportedly been struck in the airstrike, no casualties reported.
ahhhh this is so 2019, we are back to the "Israel is acting in Iraq" stuff - can confirm, something happened, can we confirm it's Israel, no.
For those who are new and not sure of the 2019 reference, there were several incidents in Iraq during 2019 affiliated to Israel, but with no hard evidence just drawn conclusions on evidence that had suggestions to the matter. One example.
and another.
I wonder where @Pontifex_es was when the Christians of #Iraq where being massacred by #Daesh
Oh right..he was enabling the western regimes to continue there support for takfiri terrorists.
How about visiting #Syria to check on the Catholics there too? Nah, who cares about Syrians

More questions:
Does @Pontifex_es know that the two men responsible for protecting the Christains of Iraq from #Daesh and making sure the church bells ring again were assassinated on Iraqi soil by US occupation drones?

“Incoming” sirens heard at Camp Victory due to the unknown explosions. Multiple #PMU channels are reporting rocket fire towards the US Base there, however no evidence of this yet.
My guess is training exercise tbh.
I’ll do a full report on the air strikes in the coming day(s) when satellite imagery is available. But from what I can tell, it was an extensive operation against #IRGC assets in #Syria
As it stands from my initial thoughts and theories (this will evolve over time) this is my AOI's with some more pinpointed than others.
As for satellite imagery, today is looking unlikely do to thick cloud coverage, but maybe @ImageSatIntl could capture something through a cloud break :D.
Reports of “explosions” heard near #Erbil Intl. Airport, #Iraq, Local source reported “counted 10 pulses or more”. Cause is currently unknown.
No CRAM was active. Rockets didn’t enter CRAM range at the base.
Summary:
3 Killed and at least 6 injured in a #Katyusha Rocket" attack aimed at #Baghdad Intl. Airport which landed on a civ. home. Pro-#PMU media and social media accounts begun reporting an airstrike several minutes after the rocket attack. Appears to be an attempt of cover up.

Thread of timeline of events. Original tweet was approx. 5 minutes before but deleted to avoid confusion and misinformation.

Unconfirmed reports suggest CRAM was activated twice. I’m checking.
Looking into it.
Multiple media being shared through social media, they appear to align?
Explosion reportedly taking place inside Saqr military base
Initial reports #PMU Al-Saqr Base has been targeted.
Initial unconfirmed reports of an IED attack against a #US Forces convoy in #Mukeshefah, between #Tikrit and #Samarra, #Iraq.
Multiple #PMU affilated channels “confirming” the attack but they aren’t sharing any other details other than the usual groups reportedly taking responsibility for it.
Note - the attack last week took around 30 minutes for images to filter through.

Will update accordingly.
Unconfirmed reports are circulating that an American logistics convoy was targeted on the road between Samawah and Diwaniyah, south of #Baghdad, #Iraq. These convoys are usually manned and run by local contractors and not US Forces.
The event reportedly happened within the last hour. First reports appeared on pro-#IRGC and #PMU media accounts in the last 30 minutes from what I can find.
Pro-#PMU media outlet Sabreen News have released a video of the convoy that was attacked.
Initial unconfirmed reports of gunfire in The Green Zone, #Baghdad, #Iraq. Footage released by pro-#PMU news group.

In other news, #Iraq|i counter terrorism units stormed a #PMU/#PMF location today after recieving intel on a planned rocket attack against #Baghdad Airport. They arrested 13 members, along with rockets, IEDs and Sniper rifles. KH are now reportedly on high alert.
At 10:00PM local time, this C-130H of #USAF's 386th Air Expeditionary Wing (from Ali Al-Salim AB in #Kuwait) overran runway of of #CampTaji Air Base in #Iraq and struck a wall resulting injuries in four crew members, also structural damage to the airplane & small fire.
#IRGC backed Hashd Al-Shaabi (#PMU) is falsely claiming that they have targeted this airplane. But the pictures which they have released are showing C-17A not C-130H! They are clearly lying.
This is official statement of Public Affairs Office of CJTF-OIR about the incident:
