A rocket fired toward the U.S. Embassy in Iraq landed near a house, injuring a child, said Iraqi officials on Sunday morning.
“A Katyusha rocket was launched from the Ali Al-Saleh area of Baghdad towards the Green Zone,” Iraqi security officials wrote in a statement, referring to the area that houses the embassy. Katyusha rockets, which are often used by Iran-backed militia groups operating in Iraq, have been frequently fired at the U.S. Embassy area so far this year.
