Explosions reported as Iraqi Shiite militia targets US military convoy near Kuwait border - security forces

An explosion has rocked a convoy carrying US military gear in Iraq near the border with Kuwait, according to Iraqi security services, who say a Shiite militia group is behind the attack.

The blast targeted a convoy near the Jraischan crossing on the Iraq-Kuwait border late on Monday after a militia group smuggled an explosive device into the area, Reuters reported, citing security sources.

Footage purporting to show the moment of the attack circulated on social media, with unconfirmed reports stating the Ashab al-Kahf militia group had taken responsibility for the explosion.
