US Embassy in Baghdad Hit by Missile Attack

The United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, has been targeted by a missile attack, causing smoke to rise from the building. The attack destroyed part of its air defense system, and while there were no immediate reports of casualties, it marked the second time the embassy has been struck since the conflict began. Iran-aligned groups have claimed responsibility, with a reward offered for information on US personnel. The embassy, one of the largest US diplomatic facilities worldwide, has faced numerous attacks by rockets and drones from Tehran-backed groups. This incident underscores the ongoing tensions and violence in the region.
