SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Two improvised explosive devices (IED) hit contractor convoys in two Iraqi provinces belonging to the U.S.-led Coalition forces, Iraqi media reported on Thursday.

A security source told Shafaq News that a convoy for a contractor of the Coalition forces was hit by an IED on the highway in Muthanna province on Thursday.

Another explosion hit a convoy for the Coalition forces in Diwaniyah, southern Iraq, Shafaq News reported.

The blasts caused no casualties.

The attack is the latest in a series of attacks on convoys supplying the Coalition forces, training the Iraqi security forces to fight Islamic State (ISIS) militants in the country.

The United States blames Iran-backed militias for regular attacks on U.S. facilities and convoys in Iraq.
