Iraq's military denied on Saturday an air strike had taken place on a medical convoy in Taji, north of Baghdad.

Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces umbrella grouping of paramilitary groups had said earlier on Saturday said that an air strike targeting its fighters hit a convoy of medics.

However, the PMF later issued another statement saying that no medical convoys were targeted in Taji.
