Drone strikes targeted two radars, one at the Basra Operations Command
and another at the Imam Ali base in Dhi Qar, a security source told Shafaq News
on Saturday.

He added that the attacks could not be ruled out as the work of
Iranian-linked groups in Iraq, noting that no casualties were reported.

Lieut. Gen. Saad Maan, head of the Iraqi Security Media Cell, later
verified the Basra attack, reporting that one soldier was wounded.

Earlier today, he dismissed reports of attacks targeting Taji, north of
Baghdad, or Maysan province, as authorities stepped up security measures in the
capital following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliation.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s Foreign Ministry condemned the wave of regional
attacks, after strikes reportedly hit Jurf al-Sakhr in Babil province. The
ministry said the attacks in Iraq aim to drag the country into the ongoing
regional conflict, a move Baghdad “categorically rejects.”

Jurf al-Sakhr, also known as Jurf al-Nasr, hosts armed factions aligned
with the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). The two consecutive attacks killed
two fighters and injured six others.
