Another airstrike targeted a militia convoy linked to the pro-Iran Popular Mobilization Forces north of Baghdad, according to local reports in Iraq early Saturday.

The strike, which occurred at 1:12 a.m. local time, killed six people and critically wounded three others, Reuters reported, citing an Iraqi army source. Two of three vehicles in the convoy were found burned.

The reported strike falls one day after the Trump administration admitted to killing a top Iranian military official, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, during an airstrike on Baghdad International Airport in a dramatic escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

The U.S. has not yet taken responsibility for the latest strike but analysts believe it could represent a new, more aggressive American strategy against Tehran and its proxies.
