A US logistics convoy was targeted on Thursday morning by an IED in Iraq while it was passing on a road between Baghdad and Taji district, an Iraqi source told media outlets, including Iraqi Shafaq News.

The attack occurred in northern Baghdad, where, according to the source, an explosive device targeted a convoy transporting US-owned logistics and military equipment.

The outlets said no human casualties were reported and the damage report is yet unknown.

Attacks on US convoys have increased over the past two years in Iraq, and some groups have been able to target US military bases in Ain Al-Assad in Al-Anbar Province, which is repeatedly targeted, Al-Harir Base in Erbil, and Victoria Base near Baghdad International Airport.

Last year, the Iraqi Resistance factions threatened to target US occupation forces and interests in Iraq if they did not withdraw from the country, following the US announcement that its troops will "continue to assist the Iraqi government in an advisory role."
