At least three large explosions were reportedly heard in Juraf al-Sahar, Iraq, as tensions between the al-Zaidi government and Iran-backed factions escalate.
While the blast has not been linked to government or militia activity, Jurf al-Sahar is a known Kataib stronghold of Hezbollah.
Sources associated with the pro-Iranian group denied reports of explosions in the settlement, so all information remains unconfirmed.
