An explosion has completely destroyed a house in Iraq's southern city of Basra overnight, killing eight people, Iraqi police say. Neighbors said they believed the blast was caused by a US air strike, but British forces, responsible for US and British military activity in the area, denied any role and said they had no explanation for the blast.

Rescue workers were pulling bodies from the rubble of the house completely destroyed.
Relatives wailed in grief and children picked through the rubble, Reuters reported. Basra has seen numerous US air strikes over the past two weeks since Iraqi security forces launched a recent crackdown on gunmen.
Scores of civilians including women and children were killed during the US air strikes.
