(RT) – We are receiving reports that an area near the US embassy in the Iraqi capital, of Baghdad, has come under rocket fire, and several blasts have been heard at the Green Zone, hosting diplomatic compounds and the US-led coalition base.
The explosions reportedly rocked the US-led coalition military base in the city, located just outside the embassy, Reuters reported, citing a US military source. Union III, the coalition base which sits across the street from the diplomatic compound, reportedly was the exact target of the rocket fire.
It is unclear if the apparent attack led to any casualties or damage to the facility. Early reports indicated that at least four blasts struck the area, prompting rocket alarms to be activated. Multiple videos have been circulated online with air raid sirens blaring in the Iraqi capital early Sunday morning local time. FULL REPORT
