The U.S. Embassy in the Iraqi capital Baghdad was hit in a missiles attack on Saturday, causing smoke to rise from the building, Iraqi security sources said.
The attack caused smoke to rise from the embassy’s building, the sources said, without providing details on the damage.
Earlier, an airstrike hit a house in Baghdad, killing at least one person, according to a security official and another affiliated with the Iranian-backed armed groups in the country.
The strike in Baghdad’s Karrada district also wounded two people, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press.
In a statement, the Iraqi military condemned the strike as “a blatant violation of all humanitarian values and a disregard for international conventions.”
Officials have not yet released full details about the scale of the damage or whether anyone was injured.
