Katyusha rocket launcher

At least three rockets targeted the US embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone at dawn on Friday, landing on the outskirts of the district housing government and diplomatic buildings, an Iraqi security official said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Two rockets late on March 25 struck Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses government buildings and foreign missions, but there were no casualties, the Iraqi military said.

"Two Katyusha rockets fell near Baghdad operation command. Details to follow," the military statement said.

Turkey has created a system that will neutralize Katyusha missiles fired over the border by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and field tests will start soon, Defense Minister Fikri Işık has said.
