Rockets have hit a US-led military coalition’s Baghdad headquarters but caused no casualties, a coalition spokesman says, in the latest attack to target US facilities in Iraq.
Washington has blamed Iran-backed paramilitary groups for increasingly regular rocketing and shelling of bases hosting US forces in Iraq and of the area around the US Embassy in Baghdad.
An attack last month hit the US Embassy compound itself, and a rocket attack on a military base in the north in December killed a US civilian contractor.
There have been no claims for the attacks.
Tension between Iran and the administration of US President Donald Trump has mostly played out on Iraqi soil in recent months.
The United States killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in a drone strike in Baghdad last month, after which the region braced for full-scale conflict.
Iran launched its first direct missile attack on two bases hosting US forces in response.
