US warplanes attacked the town of Hit in Iraq's Sunni Muslim western region, killing four people and wounding seven, hospital officials said.
They said a woman and child were among those wounded in the strikes on the Jamaiya and Sinai districts, on the eastern edges of the town.
Hit is in the tense Anbar province, which includes Fallujah, where US-led forces undertook a major offensive last month to root out foreign Islamists and Saddam Hussein loyalists they said were hiding there.
US and Iraqi officials have since said many of those militants probably fled to other cities in the Sunni west and north ahead of the assault.
Residents said the airstrikes followed several days of heightened tensions in Hit as insurgents stepped up attacks on US forces in the area.
