BAGHDAD – Facilities inside the US Embassy compound in Baghdad’s Green Zone caught fire after the embassy was attacked early Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Two booby-trapped drones landed within the embassy perimeter and the subsequent explosions sparked a fire visible from outside the complex, a source from Iraq’s Interior Ministry told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There were no immediate reports about casualties and the resulting blaze indicates material damage to the facilities.<\/p>\n

The embassy was subjected to multiple rounds of attacks from Monday evening to the early hours of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Green Zone in central Baghdad houses Iraqi government buildings, the parliament and several foreign missions, including the US embassy. The heavily fortified zone has been a frequent target of rocket and mortar fire in recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
