This time, the largest attack in recent memory was carried out on the US embassy in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. 7 mortar attacks were carried out on the embassy early on Friday morning.

Although there are regular attacks on various US military bases in Iraq, this was the first time that the embassy was targeted. However, no casualties have been reported in this attack yet.

The first mortar shell fell near the embassy at around 4am on Friday, Reuters reported. Then six more shells hit outside and inside the embassy. The US Embassy in Iraq is located in the very center of Baghdad.

Embassy personnel were evacuated to safety immediately after the first mortar shell hit.

On the same day, several installations of the Iraqi military were also attacked. However, no organization has claimed responsibility for these attacks so far. However, Iraqi and US investigative officials believe that one of these two groups, the Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah or Harkat Hezbollah al-Mujaba, carried out these attacks. Both of these groups are very active in Iraq.

Earlier, the US military carried out airstrikes in Iraq. Five people of the country were killed in this. A group in Iraq has threatened to take revenge in this incident. This information was informed in a report of Arab News on Sunday (December 3).

Three security sources said the US military launched an attack on the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. The Americans carried out this attack while trying to attack the US military base with explosive-laden projectiles. The victims of the attack were members of a pro-Iranian militia group.

US officials said that a drone staging site was targeted in the Kirkuk region on Sunday afternoon.

In a statement, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq said five of its members were killed in the US attack. The group has threatened to retaliate with the US military. This group is basically a militia group formed under the umbrella of Tehran. After this incident, the group claimed several attacks targeting US troops.

Earlier last month, Al Jazeera reported that a drone was launched targeting the US military base in Iraq. However, the drone was shot down before reaching the target.

According to reports, three military drones were shot down at Erbil airport in northern Iraq. There are US military bases and other international troops in the region.

Iraq’s Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service said in a statement that two separate attacks targeted the region.

U.S. military officials said the drones were shot down by defense systems at an army base near the airport. No casualty or damage to the facility was reported in this incident.

It was not immediately known who was involved in the drone attack targeting the US military base.

US bases in the Middle East are under constant attack after the Palestinian-Israeli war. Earlier on October 19, the US military base was attacked four times in the last 24 hours. Of these, US bases were attacked twice in Iraq and twice in Syria. This information has been given in a report of the news agency Reuters.
