An MQ-9 Reaper strike UAV fired a Hellfire missile at a car in central Baghdad.
According to unconfirmed reports, the target of the attack was one of the leaders of the Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces, a pro-Iranian group.
The Pentagon confirmed its involvement in the strike in Baghdad, which killed the leader of the pro-Iranian militia group Kataib Hezbollah, which became the most high-profile liquidation in Iraq since the death of Qassem Soleimani.
