Multiple rockets were on Sunday night, launched at the United States of America, USA, Embassy, in Baghdad, Iraq.
According to reports, the rockets hit an apartment complex instead, killing civilians.
Residents of Baghdad said that three explosions rang out, heard inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone, home to the US Embassy, and the seat of Iraq’s government.
This is following growing tension between the United States and the government of Iran, over the killing of Iranian General, Qassem Soleimani.
Soleimani, Iran’s preeminent Military Commander, was killed on Friday, in a US drone strike, in his convoy, at Baghdad Airport.
Soleimani’s death has stoked fears of a new war in the Middle-East. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has vowed to revenge Soleimani’s killing, while President Donald Trump warned that the US would target 52 sites in the Islamic Republic, if Tehran retaliates.
