At least three civilians killed in strike on southern Iraq: Officials

A strike in Iraq's southern province of Basra on Tuesday killed at least three civilians, a provincial councilor and a security official told AFP.

Thaer al-Salhi, a member of Basra's provincial council, said "a house in the city of Khor al-Zubair was struck by what eyewitnesses said was a jet", adding that "neighbors said the house was inhabited by five people, but until now only three bodies have been retrieved."

Salhi added that search operations were ongoing, while a security official confirmed the initial toll.
