The U.S. said Wednesday it killed a senior commander in Iraq with the Iranian-backed militia group Kata’ib Hezbollah who was involved in planning attacks on American troops.
The commander was killed during a strike that took place around 9:30 p.m. local time, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
“The United States will continue to take necessary action to protect our people,” CENTCOM said in a statement. “We will not hesitate to hold responsible all those who threaten our forces’ safety.”
CENTCOM said there were no civilian casualties or collateral damage from the strike.
The strike hit a car in a busy section of eastern Baghdad, killing the commander and two other Kataib Hezbollah officials, according to The Associated Press.
