Iraqi fighters from Popular Mobilization Units have successfully managed to thwart an attempt by members of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group to sneak through the desert areas of the country’s western province of Anbar into Dayr al-Zawr province in neighboring Syria.

The media bureau of the voluntary forces, better known by the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi, announced in a statement on Sunday that their fellow fighters had engaged a group of Daesh Takfiris as they were trying to infiltrate into Syria, exchanging heavy gunfire with the terrorists.

The statement added that scores of the militants were killed and injured in the process.

Earlier in the day, a senior advisor to Hashd al-Sha’abi forces survived an assassination attempt in the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad.
