According to Iraqi sources, several fighters were killed in a US airstrike in northern Iraq. Five members of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have died, said the organization that brings together several Iraqi armed groups with close ties to the government in Tehran. The group had previously claimed responsibility for several attacks on American troops.

According to information from Iraqi security circles, the militants wanted to attack US troops in the country with explosive devices. Iraqi armed groups have reported more than 70 such attacks on US forces since October 17 due to US support for Israel in bombing the Gaza Strip. A US military official confirms a “self-defense attack against an imminent threat” that targeted a drone base near Kirkuk. (APA/Portal)
