BAGHDAD—Rockets hit a U.S.-led military coalition’s Baghdad headquarters early on Sunday, Feb. 16, but caused no casualties, a coalition spokesman said, in the latest attack to target U.S. facilities in Iraq.

Washington has blamed Iran-backed paramilitary groups for increasingly regular rocketing and shelling of bases hosting U.S. forces in Iraq and of the area around the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
