A drone attack struck the United States Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday, according to a report by AFP. An official confirmed that a drone hit the embassy compound, and another security source verified the authenticity of the attack on the diplomatic mission. The incident occurred in the Iraqi capital, though no details were provided about casualties or damage within the embassy premises.

Reports cited by AFP indicated that the attack took place shortly after two Iran-backed fighters were killed in Baghdad. The timing of the strike has drawn attention to the ongoing tensions in the region, where multiple armed groups operate with varying allegiances. The report did not specify who was responsible for the drone assault or whether any group had claimed responsibility.

Further information about the extent of the damage or the response from US or Iraqi authorities was not available at the time of reporting.
