Iraqi military officials said three rockets landed near Baghdad’s Green Zone, which houses the U.S. Embassy and foreign missions.

Three Katyusha rockets “landed in the vicinity of the Green Zone without any casualties,” said the Iraqi Security Media Cell, which falls under the responsibility of the Iraqi Prime Minister’s office. It did not elaborate but said more details would be provided at a later time.
