Baghdad Condemns US Strikes on Resistance Positions as ‘Violation of Iraqi Sovereignty’
News - Middle East: Baghdad has denounced as “unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty” the United States’ latest airstrikes against three sites used by anti-terror resistance forces in the country that left one serviceman dead and 18 others wounded.
The Iraqi government made the remarks in a statement on Tuesday, describing the US strikes as "clear hostile acts", warning that they would “harm bilateral relations."
The latest development came a day after the US military carried out airstrikes against three facilities used by Kata'ib Hezbollah and affiliated groups in Hillah city, south of the capital Baghdad.
An Iraqi security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Arabic-language al-Sumaria television channel that 18 people sustained injuries in the strike, adding that a member of Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, was killed.
