A senior commander of an Iran-backed militia has been killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad.

A leader of Kataib Hezbollah and two of his guards were in a vehicle when it was targeted in the east of the Iraqi capital. All three of them died.

The Pentagon said the commander was responsible for directing attacks on American forces in the region.

The US has linked the militia to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three US troops last month.

    The R9X doesn’t have a warhead. It uses kinetic energy. So there really is a small destruction radius. The hellfire is laser guided, so it will lock onto a moving target.
