Iraq has been dragged into the Middle East war, with strikes targeting both US interests and pro-Iran groups in the country. A strike killed at least three civilians Tuesday in southern Iraq, near the Kuwait border, two local officials told AFP. Two people, including an eight-year-old child, were killed late Tuesday in Baghdad when a projectile crashed into their home, causing a fire, a police source told AFP. "Three other civilians, including a woman, were wounded" in the western Amiriya district of the Iraqi capital, according to the source. And in Iraqi Kurdistan, a drone "coming from Iran" killed a couple after crashing into their home, local authorities reported early Tuesday.
