BAGHDAD, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- Iraq's paramilitary force Hashd Shaabi said on Thursday that it opened fire at an unidentified drone flying over its bases near the border with Syria in the western province of Anbar.

The anti-aircraft weapons of the Hashd Shaabi's 45th brigade fired at the drone which was flying over al-Mazra'a area near the border town of al-Qaim, and forced the drone to withdraw, according to a brief statement posted on its website.

On Dec. 29, the Hashd Shaabi's 45th and 46th brigades belonging to Kata'ib Hezbollah in Iraq were attacked by U.S. airstrikes, leaving more than 25 Hashd Shaabi members killed and 51 others injured. Enditem
