A number of rockets struck the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad early on Dec. 8 inside the international Green Zone of Iraq’s capital, according to officials, who noted the rocket attack caused material damage but no casualties.

What group was behind the rocket attack wasn’t immediately apparent, but Iranian-linked militias based in Iraq are believed to be responsible for the attack, an embassy spokesperson told NTD News.
