US Planes Hit Targets in Iraq's Southern No-Fly Zone ����US aircraft hit targets in southern and northern Iraq on Monday, a US Defense Department spokesman confirmed. ����There were two air strikes in the southern no-fly zone and three targets in the northern no-fly zone were hit, according to the Pentagon. ����The Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported earlier that "the al-Jumhouriya quarter" in the province of Basra came under American and British missile attack at 9:30 am (0630 GMT) January 25. ����According to the report, a number of people, most of them women and children, were killed or wounded and some houses were destroyed in the residential areas by the attack, but no specific figure was given. ����The report said that Iraqi rescue workers were busy searching for survivors of the attack and the wounded were taken to hospitals in the city. ����INA quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the missiles came from the direction of Saudi Arabia. ����This is the first US-British military strike on an Iraqi city since they launched a four-night missile-attack on Iraq in mid-December.
