armed conflict defense & military

Baghdad has seen a resurgence in attacks targeting U.S. interests this week, with rocket and drone strikes resuming Tuesday after initial incidents on Monday. Security sources report at least three drones targeted the U.S. embassy in the capital. Earlier this week, air defenses successfully intercepted a rocket aimed at the embassy, and a drone caused a fire at a luxury hotel. Authorities stated no injuries or damage occurred. These attacks represent an escalation in ongoing tensions between U.S. forces and Iraqi groups believed to be aligned with Tehran. Security sources have described the recent activity as the most intense period of conflict thus far.
