Two Iraqi military bases were bombed after midnight on Saturday by unknown aircraft in Babil province, south of Baghdad, an Interior Ministry source told Xinhua.
The airstrikes were carried out by drones and targeted two bases belonging to the Iraqi paramilitary Hashd Shaabi forces in the Mahawil area, in the northern part of Babil province, the source said, without giving further details.
One of the two targeted bases was an ammunition warehouse of the Hashd Shaabi forces and the other was their tanks headquarters, the source said.
The source also said that there were explosions heard in the Madain area, some 30 km southeast of Baghdad, but there was no immediate information about the blasts.
