Six Katyusha rockets fell in Baghdad, including three inside the capital’s heavily fortified Green Zone housing government buildings and foreign missions, the Iraqi military said.

The three other rockets fell in the nearby Jadriya area, the military’s statement on Sunday.

Police sources said six people were wounded in the attacks.

Witnesses told AFP news agency two rockets hit near the US embassy in Iraq’s capital hours after the ambassador was summoned over the US strike that killed Qassem Soleimani on Friday.

Sunday’s attack was the second night in a row that the Green Zone was hit and the 14th time over the last two months that US installations have been targeted.

Breaking: Multiple rockets land in #Baghdad green zone near the #USEmbassy. Sirens from the US embassy can be heard for a few kilometers.
We felt the impact on the outer edge of the green zone.
