Baghdad drone strike| U.S. strike kills militia leader blamed for Iraq attacks | Know more| Oneindia
The U.S. military has carried out a strike in Baghdad against an Iraqi militia leader it blames for attacks against U.S. forces in the country, killing him and another person, a U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday.
The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the strike hit a vehicle in Baghdad.
It targeted a leader of Harakat al Nujaba, the official said, without naming the person.
The U.S. military has come under attack at least 100 times in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas war began in October, usually with a mix of rockets and one-way attack drones.
The United States has 2,500 troops deployed in Iraq and 900 in neighbouring Syria in a bid to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State militants.

The White House has issued a clarification on the explosive 245% tariff targeting Chinese imports. The new addendum reveals a two-tier structureâsome goods will face the full 245%, while others remain at 145% for now. Trumpâs administration has unleashed a historic wave of tariffs, including legacy measures from his first term, Biden-era expansions, and new 2025 hikes. Chinaâs Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned U.S. pressure, warning of firm retaliation. From lithium batteries to squid and syringes, the fallout is just beginning. China says itâs open to talksâbut not to blackmail.

Hamas has declared it is ready to release all hostagesâbut only under a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, rejecting any partial or temporary truce. The group blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs proposed phased plan as a âdeceptive war tacticâ aimed at prolonging the conflict. As diplomatic channels scramble, the statement raises tensions and casts uncertainty over hopes for a breakthrough in negotiations.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled âgenocidal warâ on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egyptâs national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel launched airstrikes on the southern Gaza tent city of Mawasiâan area it previously labeled a âhumanitarian safe zoneââkilling over 20 people. Footage shows rescue crews battling fires as tents filled with displaced Palestinians went up in flames. Mawasi, once a refuge for tens of thousands fleeing the war, has now become a symbol of devastation. The Israeli military has not commented on the strike. Officials warn that repeated attacks on civilian shelters are turning Gazaâs safe zones into graveyards.

Putin publicly praised Hamas for what he called a âhumanitarian actâ after the release of Israeli-Russian captives. Speaking directly to freed hostages at the Kremlin, Putin thanked Hamasâ political wing, crediting long-standing Russian-Palestinian ties for the release. The remarks have sparked global outrage and are expected to anger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Hamas. The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the Gaza war and Israelâs military actions.

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemenâs oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle.
