Four members of an Iran-aligned Iraqi militia group — including a high-ranking Iraqi militia commander — were killed in a drone strike in Baghdad on Thursday, according to reports by The Associated Press and Reuters.
A U.S. official has confirmed to Fox News that the U.S. is responsible for the strike which targeted an Iraqi militia leader in Baghdad who is believed responsible for attacks on U.S. forces.
The official says this was a precision strike on a vehicle, and not a hit on a whole facility as other outlets have reported. The strike targeted a leader with the Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, an Iraqi Shi'ite military group, the U.S. official said.
