At least one rocket hit the U.S. Embassy in Iraq on Sunday, according to multiple reports. No injuries or deaths were reported. 

Former Deputy Prime Minister Hoshyar Zebari blamed the rocket attack on an “unruly militia," claiming that five rockets had been fired at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Zebari tweeted that a restaurant in the embassy had been "damaged and burned" and described the attack as "a very dangerous game by [Popular Mobilization Forces] uncontrolled factions to galvanize the tense situation."
