Four rocket attacks on US embassies and military bases in Iraq

Baghdad, February 16, 2020, Sunday

The US Embassy in Iraq has launched a rocket attack. There is currently a conflict between Iran and the US. The rocket has been attacked in such conditions. Local military spokesman Miles Coggins said the rocket caused damage to and around the site. No casualties were reported, however.

The United States, together with Iraqi and other countries, is conducting a campaign against terrorists, whose base is located in Iraq, where the rocket attack took place. So the attack was aimed at the US military. Iraqi troops say three Katsuya rockets attacked the green zone.

This is considered to be an extremely high security area. Where the American Embassy, ​​Union-3 headquarters and other offices are located. While the fourth rocket was fired by targeting various bases of Honeed-el-Shabi, operating a military network. However, no statement has been issued by the Honead Network.

But according to information received so far, four rockets were fired at each other in view of the US military and its high commission. Several buildings have been demolished but no casualties were reported. This is the 19th attack since October. A US contractor was killed in a similar rocket attack last December.

The military has been targeting the US since it killed the drone strike of Qasim Sulaimani, Iran's top military chief in Iraq. The US military has also been ordered to remain vigilant.

However, no specific information has been released as to whether the four rockets fired at the US military in Iraq on Sunday were attacked by Iran.

Currently the terrorist organization has weakened after the head of IS killed Baghdadi in Iraq, but now that the US conflict with Iran has escalated, it is likely that the attack may have been carried out only by Iran.
