Drones and rockets were fired at the United States embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday morning, according to Iraqi security sources.

At least five drones and rockets were launched at the embassy compound from areas around the Iraqi capital, the sources said. Some of the drones were intercepted before reaching their target.

The attack occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, with the projectiles originating from multiple locations around Baghdad, according to the security sources.

Iraqi security sources characterized the incident as among the most intense attacks on the embassy compound in recent months, though no casualties or damage assessments were immediately available.

The US embassy in Baghdad has faced periodic attacks over the years, typically involving rockets or drones launched by Iran-aligned militia groups operating in Iraq. The heavily fortified Green Zone compound houses the embassy and other government facilities.
