Shafaq News/ An explosion reportedly struck a convoy of the US-led Global coalition in the south of Iraq today, Sunday. 

A source told Shafaq News agency that a blast from a roadside bomb targeted a supply convoy of the Coalition in al-Anbar highway. 

The attack resulted in injuring a member of the Iraqi security personnel charged with the protection of the convoy and damaging two vehicles. 

A similar attack took place this morning in al-Muthanna governorate in the south of Iraq however, that attack caused no casualties and the convoy resumed its march towards its destination. 

Observers believe that Iran-backed Iraqi factions orchestrate these nearly daily attacks against the convoys of the US-led Coalition in Iraq to put pressure on the US administration.
