The US Embassy in Baghdad was attacked on Friday, with at least two rockets falling in its vicinity, but no staff members were injured, the mission in the Iraqi capital said in a statement.
The attack caused no injuries among staffers, the US-funded Alhurra broadcaster reported, citing a statement from the US Embassy, which also urged the Iraqi government to protect diplomatic missions in the country.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani directed the security forces to “capture and prosecute those responsible for the rocket attack aimed at the US Embassy in Iraq.”
The Iraqi official news agency INA quoted Al-Sudani as saying, “Those responsible for such attacks insult Iraq, its stability, and security,” stressing that they “do not represent the will of the Iraqi people.”
