An air strike hit a military base in southern Iraq housing the Iran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah group on Tuesday, two sources from the armed faction said. A second source from the group said Tuesday's strike only caused material damage. An AFP correspondent reported that a strike on Tuesday night hit Kurdistan's Sulaimaniyah, the second-largest city in the autonomous region. Kurdish security forces said that a drone struck an area near a building that previously served as a United Nations office in the city, with no casualties reported. Loud bangs were again heard in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region, AFP journalists reported.
