Rockets hit Baghdad’s Green Zone where the US Embassy is located Wednesday night. It was the latest in a string of such attacks by unknown groups as the United States and Iraq discuss the status of the American military in the country.

Iraq’s Security Media Cell, a part of the prime minister’s office that reports on security developments, reported that four rockets fell in the fortified Green Zone, where several embassies are located, late Wednesday night. The incident was “without human or material losses,” the cell said in a tweet. Security forces determined the rockets were fired from south Baghdad.
