Two drones targeting US embassy in Baghdad intercepted: AFP

Two drones targeting the U.S. embassy in Baghdad were intercepted by air defences late Saturday, security officials said, the first such attack against the diplomatic mission in 10 days.

One official said the drones were shot down outside the Green Zone, which houses government institutions and diplomatic missions. A second official confirmed an attack by an "explosive" drone had been prevented.

The last such attack occurred on March 18. The influential pro-Iranian armed group Kataeb Hezbollah subsequently said it would pause attacks on the U.S. embassy, extending the five-day ceasefire twice.
