Drone strikes luxury hotel in Baghdad’s Green Zone, home to US embassy
AI Summary
On Monday, a drone strike ignited a fire at Baghdad's al-Rasheed Hotel, a luxury establishment within the Green Zone often used by foreign diplomats. Shortly before the drone attack, air defenses intercepted a rocket attack targeting the US embassy, also located in the Green Zone. These incidents occurred shortly after Kataeb Hezbollah, a Tehran-backed group, announced the death of its senior security commander. While the interior ministry confirmed the drone strike on the hotel roof, it reported no casualties or significant damage. Security forces cordoned off the area around the hotel, which also houses some diplomatic missions, as firefighters responded to the scene.
