Reuters, citing security sources and witnesses, reported that the United States embassy in Baghdad was targeted by Katyusha rockets on Saturday evening. The attack prompted an immediate security response in the Iraqi capital.
Following the rocket strikes on the diplomatic compound, warning sirens blared across the facility. Security forces quickly cordoned off sections of the highly fortified Green Zone to assess the situation and ensure the safety of personnel.
It remains unclear whether the attack resulted in any casualties or significant structural damage. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the strike, and investigations by both US and Iraqi authorities are currently underway.
