The U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad was hit by multiple rockets on Sunday, two U.S. officials told ABC News.
This is the first time the compound has been hit directly in years and comes just weeks after pro-Iranian militia members and their supporters assaulted the compound in Iraq.
Rocket attacks on the Green Zone are very common. Last week three rockets were fired into Baghdad's Green Zone, the heavily fortified area of the capital that houses the embassy, government buildings and U.S. service members. Iraqi officials said Monday that there were no injuries.
Both U.S. officials told ABC News that the dining hall was hit directly in Sunday's attack. One of the officials said there were a total of five rockets fired and that three hit the embassy compound.

Just saw a report that three were injured.
I agree, open soleomani’s grave site with ordinance, and then carpet bmb it with raw pork chops.
Verify the source - then crush it...
Sure can, but the shooters are moving within seconds of launching their rockets. This is an old, old game for us, and the Green Zone has been a magnet for it for years. How soon people forget.
Is there an effective means of counter-battery fire for these rocket attacks?
Gotta be a way to snuff these guys!
Doubtful in the time given, but even if there was, you’re talking about launching said IDF back into dense urban areas. That means a lot of blown up buildings and dead people who likely had nothing to do with any of it.
