Rockets hit US Embassy compound in Baghdad

Three rockets reportedly hit the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad on Sunday, minorly injuring one person, a U.S. official told CNN.

A State Department spokesperson told The Hill on Sunday that they “are aware of reports of rockets landing in the International Zone” but did not mention the embassy or whether employees were injured.

“The security situation remains tense and Iranian-backed armed groups remain a threat. So, we remain vigilant," the spokesperson said, requesting the Iraqi government get involved to protect “diplomatic facilities.”
