The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting Monday afternoon on the US strikes in Iraq and Syria, which were launched in retaliation for the death of three American soldiers, diplomatic sources tell AFP.

The meeting, requested by permanent member Russia, will take place at 4:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Monday, diplomatic sources say, and will discuss the attacks launched by Washington against Iran-backed groups it has accused of attacking US troops in the region.
