News agencies are reporting explosions in Baghdad near the United States Embassy in Baghdad.
Journalists from Agence France-Presse reported blasts inside the heavily fortified Green Zone, Baghdad, the high-security district of the Iraqi capital that hosts diplomatic missions, including the U.S. embassy, as well as international organizations.
An eyewitness told Reuters that explosions and sirens were heard near the embassy, which has been repeatedly targeted since the start of the war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, according to reporting by BBC News.
