The US has carried out its first air strike against Islamic State (IS) militants under a new strategy to defeat the group.
The US military said Monday's strike had destroyed an IS fighting position south-west of Baghdad that had been firing on Iraqi forces.
It came five days after US President Barack Obama outlined his plan to "degrade and ultimately destroy" IS.
The US has also been building a broad coalition to fight the jihadist group.
IS, also known as Isil or Isis, has announced the creation of a caliphate, or Islamic state, in the large parts of Syria and Iraq it controls.
