Militant group targets supply convoy south of Baghdad

|
Militants on Monday targeted a convoy carrying food supplies south of Baghdad using an explosive device, the Iraqi military said in a statement, leading to only material losses.
Lebanese pro-Iranian TV channel al-Mayadeen reported that the explosion targeted a convoy carrying military equipment to a base hosting U.S. forces south of the capital.
The channel said there was damage to one vehicle but no casualties. The report comes amid heightened tension between Iran-backed paramilitary groups and the United States in Iraq.
Washington killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike last month and Tehran fired missiles at two bases hosting U.S. forces in retaliation days later.
