Iraqi and U.S. officials confirmed at least four missiles landed near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, on Saturday night.

Three Katyusha rockets “landed inside the Green Zone,” a heavily fortified area that includes the embassy, and the fourth Katyusha rocket “fell in the crowd’s logistical support headquarters next to the Police College building on Palestine Street,” said Iraqi security officials in a statement.
