Iraq says seven people were wounded when US and British warplanes struck civilian targets in the south of the country today.
An Iraqi military spokesman also said that Iraq's anti-aircraft missile defences might have hit one of the attacking warplanes.
"At 10:00 local time (07:00 Irish time) warplanes of the evil American and British administrations flew 30 sorties over several southern Iraqi places using air bases in Kuwait," the spokesman said.
"The criminal American and British warplanes attacked civilian targets in Dhiqar province and wounded seven civilians," he said.
In London, a spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defence said none of its aircraft had been involved in the reported incident. There was no immediate comment from the United States.
US and British planes patrol "no-fly zones" over southern and northern Iraq created by the British and US after the 1991 Gulf War.
Meanwhile, in a propaganda coup for the US, Iraqi military officers once loyal to President Saddam Hussein are urging the United States to topple their leader, without harming innocent Iraqis.
"The United States will not find support inside or outside Iraq for an offensive that would harm civilians, destroy the infrastructure and target troops not defending the regime," Major General Najib al-Salhi said.
Maj Gen Salhi is one of 70 officers who held a three-day meeting in London to discuss efforts to topple Saddam and establish civilian rule. The meeting ended late on today and the officers are expected to issue a communique on Sunday.
