An airstrike on the Iraqi-Syrian border and inside Syrian territory was reported by Al-Mayadeen, citing sources that claimed that forces deployed at the border posted a security alert.
Local media claim, citing sources, that the most recent airstrikes have targeted installations of Iraq's Kataeb Hezbollah militia in Al-Qaim region on the Iraqi-Syrian border.
Unconfirmed reports claim that at least 5 people were killed in the US strike targeting "Imam Ali" military base.
The region is reportedly known to host Iranian-backed militia forces. There has been no confirmation of the attack. The US Department of Defence has not issued a statement.
The series of reported US air raids against Iranian-backed militia in Iraq falls against a backdrop of the dangerous escalation in Iran-US relations after the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force commander, Qasem Soleimani, was assassinated on Friday in a US drone attack near the Baghdad International Airport.
