A drone attack struck the Mansour residential district of Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, according to security sources cited on March 21, 2026. One of the drones reportedly targeted a building belonging to an Iraqi intelligence agency. Another source told AFP that the building housed a security agency coordinating operations with U.S. advisers in Iraq.

A separate drone that was filming the operation lost control and crashed into a private sports club popular among Iraq’s elite and foreign diplomats. The incident has heightened concerns about security conditions in the capital.

Following the attack, renewed anxiety has emerged over Baghdad’s overall security situation, though no further details about casualties or responsibility were provided in the report.
