BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq said seven people were injured by U.S. and British warplane airstrikes on civilian targets Monday. The U.S. military said the most recent strikes came Sunday and that civilians were not targeted.

"Seven people were injured when enemy warplanes bombed residential and service installations in southern Iraq," the Iraqi military said in a statement carried by the official Iraqi News Agency. It said the planes attacked civilian targets in six provinces.

A spokesman for the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla., said American and British planes struck southern Iraq on Sunday, not Monday.

U.S. forces have conducted five military strikes in northern and southern Iraq this month, a significant uptick in activity in a region that had been relatively quiet for about six weeks.
