1 killed and 18 wounded in US airstrikes in Iraq

A security member was killed and 18 people were wounded on Tuesday in US airstrikes on Iraqi security sites south of Baghdad, the Iraqi government said in a statement.

“The Iraqi government condemns the targetting of Iraqi security sites by the US side at Tuesday dawn, which led to the martyrdom of a security member and



the injury of 18 people, including civilians,” said the statement by the media office of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani.

The attack was “a clear and unconstructive hostile act that contradicts the declared desire of the US side to strengthen relations with Iraq,” it added as quoted by Xinhua news agency report.
