Residents of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s semiautonomous northern Kurdish region, heard explosions and the sound of air defenses intercepting incoming missiles or drones Saturday evening.
Three Iraqi security officials said that a missile had landed on the helicopter landing pad in U.S. embassy complex in Baghdad. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. An embassy spokesperson declined to comment. There were no reports of casualties.
