The U.S. embassy in the Baghdad Green Zone was targeted in a rocket attack on Sunday, as the anniversary of the assassination of Iran's top general, Qassem Soleimani, approaches.
Iraqi security officials told AP on condition of anonymity that the embassy's C-RAM defense system shot down the rockets mid-air causing damage to a residential complex and parked cars, Deutsche Welle reports.
There were no reports of casualties.
"The U.S. Embassy confirms rockets targeting the International Zone (Green Zone) resulted in the engagement of embassy defensive systems," a statement released by the embassy said, adding that the compound suffered some minor damage.
