President Barham Salih has slammed the strikes as a violation of Iraq’s national sovereignty. The Iraqi army said four soldiers, two policemen, and one civilian were killed in the strikes. The United States has carried out airstrikes against positions of the Iraqi army and a civilian airport. Washington says the raids were in response to Wednesday’s attack against an Iraqi base hosting American forces.
