On the night of April 18-19, a "bomb attack" was carried out at a military base in Central Iraq. One person was killed and 8 others were injured, AFP reported.
The explosion affected the base in Kalso, where the former pro-Iranian paramilitary group Hashed al-Shaabi, now integrated into the regular army, is stationed.
In a statement, Hashed al-Shaabi confirmed that the attack caused material losses and casualties, without specifying the number of wounded.
"The explosion hit equipment, weapons and vehicles," an interior ministry source said.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack.
The explosions were in the warehouses where the equipment is stored. A fire is still raging and the search for the injured continues./BGNES
