Rockets fall in Baghdad’s Green Zone, no injuries
Iraq's security media cell said the rockets were launched from al-Salaam neighborhood.
Two rockets fell in Baghdad’s Green Zone, home to foreign embassies, on Monday. No casualties have been reported so far, according to Iraq’s military and the US-led coalition.
A third rocket landed in the nearby al-Harithiya neighborhood, just west of the Green Zone. The rockets’ launcher was found by Iraqi security forces in al-Salaam neighborhood southwest of the city’s center, Iraq’s Security Media Cell said.
The attack is the latest in a long series of Katyusha rocket barrages against Western targets that renewed late last year. Some of the strikes have been claimed by suspected front groups for powerful Shiite militias in Iraq.
On Saturday night, at least four rockets landed at Balad air base, wounding a South African contractor for Sallyport, an American company that services Iraq’s F-16s.
