A missile struck the US Embassy in Baghdad Friday night, hitting a helipad on the sprawling compound that Iranian-backed militants have repeatedly targeted since the conflict in the Middle East began.
The projectile breached Baghdad’s heavily fortified “Green Zone” — home to Iraqi government buildings and foreign embassies — in the latest attack on one of the largest American diplomatic facilities, two security officials told the Associated Press.
Smoke was seen rising from the diplomatic mission in a video posted on social media by Sabereen News, a pro-Iranian militia outlet in Iraq.
