Coalition air forces performed several strikes in Iraq, supporting ongoing anti-insurgent operations. A US Air Force F-15 launched a precision-guided munition against an insurgent weapons cache in the vicinity of Karabilah. US Navy F-14s struck a building used by insurgents in the vicinity of Husaybah with PGMs. In the vicinity of Balad, USAF F-16s unleashed PGMs, targeting anti-Iraqi forces.
The U.S. military conducted strikes on Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz on May 7, as the conflict with Iran flared up again—though officials say the ceasefire remains in effect.
