Explosions Near US Embassy in Baghdad’s Green Zone Trigger Sirens

Explosions were reported near the US embassy in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone early on Friday, as videos shared on social media depicted the incident, with sirens activating calls for people to “duck and cover.” The footage was verified by a reliable source. The embassy spokespeople have yet to respond to requests for comment, and it remains unclear if the embassy’s air defense systems were activated or if there was any damage.
In recent months, US forces at military bases in Iraq and Syria have experienced over 70 attacks claimed by an umbrella organization of Iraqi Shi’ite Muslim armed groups since mid-October. However, diplomatic missions had been spared from such incidents. As of now, no group has claimed responsibility for the reported attack on the US embassy on Friday, occurring around 4 am.
The situation raises concerns about the security and stability of the region, with tensions persisting and potential threats to diplomatic missions. Further details are awaited as the situation unfolds.
