Iraqi defense minister: 'Impossible to assert what caused blast'

Iraq's Defense Minister Najah al-Shammari arrived in the Shi'ite paramilitaries base that was bombed earlier Tuesday and said that "it is impossible to determine what caused the event, an in-depth investigation is needed."

 

He added that the situation is under control, and there were no casualties in the incident.

 

It was reported earlier that some 50 missiles exploded in the bombed storage facility, and that the attack was conducted by a drone. Local media said that the paramilitaries who used the place as their post are associated with Iran.
