China News Service, Beijing, July 30. News from Baghdad: According to Iraqi security officials, two rockets landed near the US Embassy in the "Green Zone" of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, on the morning of the 29th local time, causing no casualties or property damage.
According to Reuters, one rocket landed in a parking lot in the "Green Zone" and the other landed in an open space near the parking lot.
Preliminary investigation results showed that their target may be the US Embassy, but it was missed.
According to sources from Arab Satellite TV, the attack coincided with the return of Iraqi Prime Minister Khadimi from his visit to the United States.
US President Biden issued a joint statement with Kadimi on the 26th, agreeing to end the combat mission in Iraq and transition to the mission of training and assisting Iraqi government forces.
No person or organization has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Attacks against US diplomatic agencies or military bases in Iraq have occurred from time to time.
Since the beginning of this year, the US Embassy in Iraq and the nearby Erbil Airport where US troops are stationed have all encountered air strikes.
The United States has designated Iranian-backed Iraqi Shiite militias to carry out such attacks, but the Iranian side denies involvement.
The United States launched the Iraq War in 2003 and withdrew its troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, leaving only a small number of troops stationed.
The extremist organization "Islamic State" seized large areas of western and northern Iraq in 2014. The US army subsequently increased its troops in Iraq, mainly undertaking the task of combating the "Islamic State" and training Iraqi government forces.
Currently, there are about 2,500 US troops stationed in Iraq.
