Destruction at Karbala Airport in the Iraqi shrine city, one of the areas targeted by U.S. military air strikes against a pro-Iranian group in Iraq.
The deaths of one British and two American soldiers on Wednesday were the first such fatalities since the December attack that prompted the U.S., in response, to kill top Iranian security official Qasem Soleimani as well as Iraqi militia figures.
