TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A blast caused by a fire at a weapons storage in eastern Baghdad on Friday set off rockets that hit neighboring districts, killing at least four residents and injuring a dozen others, police and hospital sources said.
The storage belongs to the Popular Mobilization Force (PMF), a popular group fighting against the terrorist groups, a police officer said.
The rockets set off from the storage caused damage to houses, shops and cars at eight locations, and set a fire at a flour factory that was still burning two hours after it got hit, Reuters quoted the police officer as saying.
A column of smoke billowed over Obaidi, a Shiite neighborhood close the industrial zone where the storage is located, residents said.
