Two rockets explode in area near U.S. embassy in Baghdad

Two strong rocket explosions, followed by siren warnings, were heard in Baghdad, Iraq's capital, on Wednesday night, 8. According to the American television network ABC News, the security office of Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, the artifacts fell in an area near the United States embassy – the so-called Green Zone, where the country's Parliament, diplomatic representations and forces of the North Atlantic Nato Treaty Organization are situated).

The rockets are Russian-made Katyusha, according to Mahdi. Attacks with artifacts like these have been common in the region since the assassination of Iranian General Qasen Soleimani, commander of iran's elite Revolutionary Guard forces, on The Last Day 2 in Baghdad. No militia has claimed responsibility for the explosions so far. Nor has the Government of Iran commented on the incidents.
