U.S. and British planes attacked targets in southern Iraq in response to antiaircraft artillery fired on coalition planes, U.S. officials said.
There were no casualties, the official Iraqi News Agency, or INA, reported.
The airstrikes targeted an antiaircraft missile site in the hopes of reducing Iraq’s ability to fire upon Western allies enforcing a “no-fly” zone set up to protect Shiite Muslims in the area, the U.S. Central Command said.
