A “self-defense strike” was carried out in northern Iraq against a drone launch site, a US military official said on Sunday, after an air strike killed five pro-Iranian militants there. “A self-defense strike was carried out on a drone staging site,” the official said on condition of anonymity. It took place “in the vicinity of Kirkuk” and targeted “an imminent threat”, he added.
