The Arabic Al-Mayadeen news network reported on Sunday that Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units’ 21st Brigade thwarted a Daesh assault on the al-Eith region of the eastern Salahuddin Province.
The PMU’s 47th Brigade also repelled a Daesh operation in the Jurf al-Sakhar region in the central Babil province, resulting in one PMU casualty.
Another attack in the eastern Diyala province, however, lead to five casualties among the country’s pro-government tribal units, according to a security official.
Earlier on Sunday, a Daesh operation seeking to infiltrate the central Karbala province from the western Anbar province was forced to retreat with casualties following the intervention of Iraqi security services.
