The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was the target of a rocket attack Sunday night. The embassy confirmed the attack in a tweet, noting that there was some “minor damage” on the compound but that no injuries or casualties were reported. An Iraqi military statement said ‘an outlawed group’ launched eight rockets targeting the Green Zone, injuring one Iraqi security person at a checkpoint, and damaging a residential complex and some cars. The residential complex is usually empty. A U.S. official in Baghdad told Fox News the American military deployed its counter rocket, artillery and mortar defense system (C-RAM) to intercept the rocket attack.
