The incident occurred when two holy warriors attempted to detonate an explosive vest among a group of shepherds tending to their flocks in al-Lamlasi area.

According to Qasim Musleh, the commander of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces-PMF) operations in al-Anbar, the security forces were able to rescue the shepherds, neutralize an attacker, and apprehend another who was injured in the encounter.

To prevent further developments, a unit from the 17th PMF brigade has been deployed in the area, Musleh assured.
