The spokesman for the US-Led Coalition, Colonel Wayne Maruto dismissed the report on the alleged US drone attack against a vehicle belonging to Hashd Al-Shaabi (PMU) on the Iraq-Syria border on Sunday as misinformation.
Local Iraqi media reported a US drone strike on an area near the Iraqi-Syrian border against PMU or al-Hashd al-Shabi forces yesterday.
Saberin News Telegram Channel said that in the drone attacks a vehicle belonging to al-Hashd al-Shabi forces was destroyed, but there were no immediate reports of any casualties.
After a while that the news circulated, the commander of operation room of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) or Hashd Al-Shaabi in Iraq's Al-Anbar province Qassem Moslih denied that the US troops had launched a drone attack on PMU on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
"There has been no attack on our forces on the Syrian-Iraqi border," Moslih said.
