One rocket was destroyed by a plane security syndicate and another landed near a national embankment, destroying two vehicles, Iraqi troops say.
Two Katyusha rockets hit a high-security checkpoint in Baghdad, where several Western embassies are still operating, Iraqi forces said.
One rocket was damaged in the air by C-RAM security and another landed near a national embankment and destroyed two vehicles, the military said Sunday.
The security forces launched a search to find the location they had set up. No one claimed responsibility for the attack.
The U.S. military spokesman told Reuters news agency that the C-RAM machine had downplayed the incident and no one had reached the US embassy. The official said there were no casualties in the United States. Some of the injured have not yet been identified.
The Green Zone consists of foreign diplomats, including the US embassy, and government buildings and has always been a target of rocket launchers and groups that US and Iraqi officials say are backed by Iran.
U.S. officials say Iranian-backed forces could increase US-led invasions in Iraq and Syria in the coming weeks, among them to commemorate the assassination of Iranian military chief Qassem Soleiman and Iraqi army chief Abu Mahdi al. . -Muhandi.
The two were killed by a US threat to Iraq on January 2, 2020.
The latest rocket salvo comes after Iraq this week announced the end of a “war on war” in its territory of ISIS (ISIS) led by Washington.
But about 2,500 American troops and 1,000 allied troops sent to Iraq remain in the country for training, technical assistance and assistance.
Iranian allies in Iraq want all US troops stationed in the country to withdraw.
The coup coincides with the 10th anniversary of the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq on December 18, 2011, following the 2003 uprising of Saddam Hussein.
Washington then sent troops into the country to fight ISIL, which had seized territories largely.
In early November, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi escaped unharmed by an unidentified bomb, which was detonating at his home in the Green Zone.
In September, an attack on an “armed drone” targeted Erbil’s international airport in the Kurdish region of independence, where a coalition force is based.
