Bagdoddagi AQSh elchixonasiga dronlar bilan kuchli hujum bo'ldi
Significant events have unfolded in the last hour in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Zamin.uz reports on this matter.

According to local media, a powerful drone attack was launched against the United States Embassy in the city. As a result of this assault, a fire broke out in the building, sending thick columns of black smoke into the sky.

Witnesses and onlookers report that the sound of explosions could be heard from several districts of the city. Currently, it remains unclear who carried out the attack.

Official statements from various movements and insurgent groups have not yet been released. Security forces have completely closed off the Green Zone in the city center to bring the situation under control.

This specific area houses Iraq's most important government agencies, along with several foreign embassies and diplomatic missions. Consequently, traffic and movement in that location have been restricted.

Currently, a large number of police and military personnel have been deployed to ensure security in the area. Investigation work is actively ongoing at the scene of the incident.

The objective is to determine the causes of the attack, assess damaged facilities, and prevent additional threats. Further developments in the situation are expected to become known soon.

The international community and diplomats have expressed concern regarding this incident and are taking additional measures. It is planned to implement even stricter security measures in the coming days.
