Baghdad : The U.S. military says security forces have killed at least 13 militants in overnight clashes in Eastern Baghdad.
It says Abrams tanks and drone-launched Hellfire missiles were used to quell attacks on U.S. and Iraqi soldiers, according to a report of the Associated Press.
But Iraqi police and hospital officials say seven civilians died when U.S. helicopters fired on homes and shops in Baghdad’s eastern district of Sadr City early Saturday.
