#US officials confirm they have begun retaliation strikes for last nights attack against Camp Taji. #Iraq

Intense aerial activity over Karbala, #Iraq. I believe this area is usually a no fly zone for the #US.

I would suspect (and hope to help locate them) we will get footage of these airstrikes like last time.

At least 3 positions were reportedly struck in Jurf Sakhar, south of #Baghdad alone.

5 positions in the Babil/Babylon reported and others in Karbala, Anbar, and Salah al-Din. #Iraq

Liwa Ali Akbar Headquarters I’m #Karbala, #Iraq targeted. This is usually a no fly zone. Significant strike. #US

New wave of airstrikes being reported in Wasit, #Iraq.

This is a large scale airstrike mission. Multiple sites targeted across large areas of #Iraq being conducted by the #US. No #UK/#British involvement

Rumours have already begun. We will know in several hours if they are true.

5 ammunition depots belonging to Kata’ib #Hezbollah were reportedly targeted, my guess is these were in Jurf Sakhar. #Iraq

Pentagon statement issued. Strikes likely over. #US #Iraq

Explosions recorded at Kata’ib #Hezbollah warehouses due to #US Air Force strikes. #Iraq

Jet's over #Baghdad, #Iraq according to @no_itsmyturn

Karbala Airport which is under construction was one of the areas that was targeted by the #US Air Force last night. #Iraq

Early reports are suggesting 5 members of Kata’ib #Hezbollah 46th Brigade were injured in the strikes. #Iraq

Also 3 soldiers from 19th Commando Division were reportedly killed and 4 Wounded along with 2 Federal Police Killed and 2 Wounded

Some more images are coming out from locations struck by the #US Air Force last night. #Iraq

Video included shows damage at Karbala Airport, #Iraq.

Strikes appear to be more infrastructure based than personal based, this isn’t surprising.

#Iraq|i Ministry has summoned the #US and #UK/#British envoys over last nights airstrikes.

Lets make this clear, there is no IRGC General Siamand Mashhadani, this was a rumour started somewhere, no idea where however.

.@CENTCOM has released detailed images of the locations struck belonging to Kata'ib #Hezbollah last night.

This'll make the geolocation work easier!

additional media from .@CENTCOM showing the targeting of the weapons storage affiliated to Kata'ib #Hezbollah in Al-musayyib, #Iraq

@CENTCOM Infograph regards to the position hit in Karbala, #Iraq

I'll start trying to locate these later today as I don't have the time right now, but to be honest by the time I start looking others will have probably found them :D [David]
