Baghdad: At least four rockets targeted the American Embassy in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, two Iraqi security officials said.
The Green Zone, the area which is home to diplomatic missions and the seat of Iraq's government.
As per officials, three of the missiles struck within the perimeter of the US Embassy, while another hit a school located in a nearby residential complex.
An Iraqi military statement said a girl and a woman were injured in the attack, without providing more details.
According to official statement the rockets had been launched from the Dora neighbourhood of Baghdad.
Witnesses said they heard the embassy's C-RAM defense system — supposed to detect and destroy incoming rockets, artillery and mortar shells — during the attack.
The attack is the latest in a series of rocket and drone attacks that have targeted the American presence in Iraq since the start of the year.
Last Thursday, a series of attacks targeted American troops in Iraq and Syria after rockets struck an Iraqi military base hosting US troops in western Anbar province and the capital.
