Baghdad

An unidentified air strike targeted a house in Baghdad's Karrada district early Saturday, killing at least one person and wounding two others, according to Iraqi security officials and Iranian-backed group affiliates. The Iraqi military condemned the attack as a violation of humanitarian values and international conventions. This incident occurs as US Embassy in Baghdad faces repeated threats from Iran-aligned militias. Investigations continue to determine the strike's origin amid ongoing regional hostilities.

A missile struck a helipad inside the US Embassy compound in Baghdad, with no casualties reported, amid stepped-up attacks by Iran-aligned militias on US interests in Iraq. The US Embassy renewed its Level 4 security alert for Iraq, warning of continued threats from Iran-backed groups targeting Americans and infrastructure. This follows a drone strike in northern Iraq that killed one French soldier and wounded others in a coalition base on Thursday. The incidents highlight rising risks for US diplomatic facilities as the Iran conflict intensifies.
