"At 10:50 a.m. (2:50 a.m. EDT) U.S. and British warplanes violated our air space, carrying out five sorties from Saudi Arabia and four sorties from Kuwait," an Iraqi military spokesman said in a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA). "The planes flew over the provinces of Basra, Dhi qar, Muthanna, Meisan and Wassit and attacked civilian and service installations in Meisan province," he said. He said Iraq's ground air defenses fired on the planes and forced them to return to their bases. There was no immediate comment on the report by the United States or Britain.
