WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. warplanes fired on two Iraqi defense
sites in the southern "no-fly" zone about 4 a.m. EST (0900

The strikes were part of Operation Southern Watch, which
enforces United Nations sanctions and restrictions south of
the 33rd parallel in Iraq, and were in response to Iraqi
provocations, U.S. military officials reported.
