Less than 24 hours after President Trump ordered airstrikes that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, another airstrike has reportedly been carried out.
Airstrikes struck a convoy of vehicles carrying Iran-back Iraqi militia leaders within the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) umbrella group, killing six and wounding three in Taji, just north of Baghdad, an Iraqi Army source told Reuters. An Iraqi source told the Associated Press that five were killed in the airstrike.
Photos posted to social media show the burning wreckage of the convoy, although the airstrike, nor the images have been confirmed by U.S. officials.
Al Mayadeen, a Lebanon-based Arab television network, as well as Al-Iraqiya TV, an Iraqi television network, are also reporting that drone strikes took out a convoy of two vehicles carrying the Iraqi militia leaders.
