The U.S. military carried out an airstrike targeting and killing a commander of one of the Iraqi militias that are responsible for dozens of attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East over the last couple months.
U.S. Central Command forces carried out the strike targeting a Kata’ib Hezbollah leader “responsible for directly planning and participating in attacks on U.S. forces in the region” on Wednesday night local time, it said in a statement, noting that there were “no indications of collateral damage or civilian casualties at this time.”
