Baghdad, Iraq - March 17, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland)
1. Drone attack intercepted
2. Drone landing in U.S. embassy ​compound in Baghdad, facilities on fire


The U.S. embassy in Iraq, located in Baghdad's Green Zone, was attacked early Tuesday, with facilities inside the compound catching fire.

According to an Interior Ministry source on condition of anonymity, two booby-trapped drones landed within the embassy perimeter and the subsequent explosions sparked a fire visible from outside the complex.

Sirens were activated immediately across the site during the assault, while the embassy's defense system failed to intercept the incoming drones, said the source.

There were no immediate reports about casualties and the resulting blaze indicates material damage to the facilities.

The U.S. embassy in Iraq was subjected to at least five rounds of attacks from Monday evening to the early hours of Tuesday.

The Green Zone in central Baghdad houses Iraqi government buildings, the parliament and several foreign missions, including the U.S. embassy. The heavily fortified zone has been a frequent target of rocket and mortar fire in recent years.
