No specific group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Iran-backed militias have been responsible for similar attacks in the past.
Several rockets were fired at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone, causing minor damage but no casualties.
The U.S. embassy has urged the Iraqi government to protect its personnel following the attack.
On Friday morning, several rockets were fired at the Green Zone in Baghdad, where the U.S. Embassy is located. The attack caused minor damage but resulted in no casualties. The scale of the damage and whether the embassy's air defense systems were triggered remains unclear. The embassy is located in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, and the attack hit the vicinity of Union III, which houses offices of the U.S.-led coalition. Two salvos of rockets were fired at the mission. No specific group has claimed responsibility for this attack, but Iran-backed militias in Iraq have claimed responsibility for similar attacks in the past. The U.S. embassy in Baghdad has urged the Iraqi government to protect its personnel after the attack. The embassy spokesperson called on the government of Iraq to protect diplomatic and coalition partner personnel and facilities.
This attack is the first to be confirmed since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. While no specific group has claimed responsibility for this attack, indications suggest that it was carried out by Iran-aligned militias. These militias have been responsible for previous attacks on U.S. facilities. The situation remains under investigation, and further details are awaited.
