According to the publication, the United States launched a strike with an R9X missile, which was developed by the Pentagon and the CIA to eliminate leaders of various groups.
It is noted that the R9X is a modification of the Hellfire missile and does not have an exploding warhead. Damage is caused by six blades that are ejected from the body the moment they make contact with the target.
As Regnum reported, on February 7, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on the social network X that the US military struck a target in Iraq, killing the commander of the Kataib Hezbollah group. It was alleged that he was responsible for directly planning and participating in attacks against US forces in the region.
Kataib Hezbollah later confirmed the death of one of its leaders. They clarified that Abu Bakir al-Saadi, who was responsible for the air system in the battalions, died.
