Hamas has condemned what it described as a strike on Kalsu military base in Iraq.
“We consider it an assault and violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and security,” the militants said in a statement.
“We also hold the administration of US President Biden responsible for the escalation in the region.”
One member of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces was killed in the blast, which the pro-Iran group says was the result of an attack.
Security sources had earlier told Reuters news agency an air strike caused the explosion.
Hamas said the incident is an “embodiment” of Israel’s “barbarism”.
“We renew our affirmation that the region will not witness stability or peace except by ending the Zionist occupation of our occupied Palestinian and Arab lands,” the statement adds.
There is no confirmation of Israeli involvement.
