Sirens immediately rang out at the American compound in Baghdad hosting both diplomats and troops, sources there told. The Al-Balad base, north of Baghdad, was hit by Katyusha rockets, security sources said.

The US has feared a backlash against its mission and bases
where its troops are deployed across Iraq following the precision drone strike
that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on Friday.
