The Iraqi military said an "outlaw group" fired at least eight Katyusha rockets into Baghdad's Green Zone on Sunday, causing minor damage to the U.S. Embassy.
The Green Zone is a heavily fortified area that houses government buildings and embassies. The Iraqi military said most of the missiles hit a residential complex and security checkpoint, and one soldier was wounded in the attack. A security official who works inside the Green Zone told Reuters an anti-rocket system successfully diverted one of the rockets.
