The U.S. led an international air drop of relief supplies Saturday to an Iraqi town that has been surrounded by Sunni militants, a modest expansion of U.S. military operations in the region.
U.S. war planes also struck at Islamic State forces in conjunction with the relief mission. The Pentagon didn't immediately provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the strikes.
