The United States is conducting retaliation airstrikes against Iran-backed militias in response to the fatal rocket attack on Camp Taji in Iraq that killed three coalition troops, Fox News reported citing a US military source.
The military official said on Thursday (local time) that the US is targeting multiple locations used by Iran-backed Shia militias in Iraq and along the Syrian border, according to Fox News.
The US-led coalition forces said that more than 15 small rockets hit Iraq's Taji military base, which hosts its troops, spokesperson Myles Coggins said in a statement on Wednesday.
Two Americans and one British personnel were killed in the attack.
