A convoy of trucks carrying logistical supplies for the US-led international coalition fighting the Daesh/ISIS terror group came under a bomb attack Thursday in central Iraq, according to security sources.

The convoy was hit with an explosive device planted alongside a road in Babylon Governorate.

The attack caused damage to one of the trucks but there were no initial reports of casualties.

The coalition has yet to comment on the attack.

Similar attacks on coalition convoys have been carried out in recent months.

Washington claims that Iran-backed Iraqi groups are responsible for the attacks.
