The area of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the so-called “green zone”, where the embassies are located, came under rocket fire on Sunday, December 19. This was reported by the Al Hadath TV channel, citing sources in the city’s law enforcement agencies.
According to him, one of the missiles exploded near the US Embassy: it fell on the square, damaging two cars, another missile was shot down in the air. It is noted that no one was hurt. The rockets were launched from an area in the east of the capital.
The “green zone”, as well as the international airport, which is adjacent to the military airfield, from time to time become targets of rocket attacks from improvised launchers. In addition, foreign military bases on Iraqi territory are under fire.
According to the Russian political scientist Marat Bashirov, the so-called “green zone” of Baghdad has long ceased to be a safe territory since the “American rule”. He recalled that on November 7, the house of Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Kazimi was fired at with rockets.
The attempt on the life of the Prime Minister of Iraq was carried out on the night of Sunday, November 7. His residence was attacked using a mined drone. Prime Minister al-Kazimi was not injured and reported this after hospitalization. As a result of the attack on the residence, 10 al-Kazimi’s guards were injured.
