- The fifth supply convoy was targeted in the central province of Babylon. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
- The sixth supply convoy was targeted in the district of Yusufiya near the capital Baghdad. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
All six US supply convoys were targeted with improvised explosive devices, the go-to weapon of pro-Iranian factions in Iraq.
The recent attacks on US-led coalition convoys and bases in Iraq are a response to the assassination of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Deputy-Commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, and Qassim Soleimani, Commander of Iran’s Quds Force. The attacks are meant to push US forces out of the country.
“Resistance” forces in Iraq stepped up their attacks recently. Late on April 14, a drone was used for the first time in an attack on a US base in Erbil International Airport.
6? Were there any more to attack? It seems they ard getting hit as soon as they step out of their bases.
it’s like afghanistan, countryside run by the talibans and in the towns sits the morons from the disunited states of insufferable fools. just as it was in the 80s when the russians held forth – couldn’t leave the compounds without cover from the airships, until mujahedin got hold of some nice missiles and killed all the fun. just like today. but the morons have much more stuff to ship back home and a much longer distance. they will leave more than half of the stuff.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
I’m glad they’re trying. They will get better at it for sure as time goes on.
Frankly, the resistance needs to inflict casualties on the cowardly US occupation forces who hide in spider holes rather than fight.
Yeah it needs to increase in intensity and frequency, and it seems to be headed that way.
