Two Katyusha rockets have struck Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses several Western embassies, the Iraqi military has said.
One rocket was destroyed in the air by the C-RAM defence system and the other landed near a national monument and damaged two cars, the military said in a statement on Sunday.
Security forces started an investigation to detect the launch site. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
A United States military official told the Reuters news agency that the C-RAM system brought down one of the rounds and none of them landed on the US embassy. The official said there were no American casualties. Other casualties are not yet known.
