Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Iraq reported that the assistant commander of the Baghdad Ring operations in the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Hajj Moshtaq Taleb Al-Saidi (Abou Taqwa) was martyred in a US airstrike that targeted the headquarters of the PMF in eastern Baghdad. 

One other person was killed in the strike, and six were injured.

During the attack, a drone launched four rockets from a drone, three of which were launched simultaneously, while the fourth struck Al-Saidi's car. 

Our correspondent said it was not clear as of yet whether the US or "Israel" was behind the attack.
