US‑Saudi Airstrike Kills Six Iranian Advisers in Iraq
A group of US and Saudi pilots flew a plane over a base in Mosul, Iraq, and dropped bombs.
The bombs hit a building where six people from Iran were working.
Those people were advisers for a militia group.
Two people from the militia told reporters that the six advisers were killed, but they could not say it publicly.
The attack happened after a quiet period and might make the fighting in the region worse.
It also worries the US because it uses a lot of special weapons that it needs to keep for its bases and allies.
US and Saudi forces carried out an airstrike on a Popular Mobilization Forces base in Mosul, Iraq.
The strike killed six Iranian advisers.
Two Iraqi militia officials confirmed the deaths, speaking anonymously.
The incident follows a period of relative calm and raises fears of a broader war.
The attack may deplete US stockpiles of advanced munitions needed for defense.
