Projectiles were purportedly launched towards the United States Embassy in the Iraqi capital early on Sunday morning Baghdad time, according to reporters and witnesses in the area.
Video has emerged that appears to show a black pillar of smoke billowing from the eastern neighbourhood of Zayouna.
At least four explosions were heard from the direction of the capital’s Green Zone where the embassy is located, The Washington Post’s Mustafa Salim reported.
Sirens were triggered as jets were spotted flying over the area, according to multiple witnesses.
Columns of smoke have been spotted rising from areas in Baghdad, including near the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iraqi state-sponsored umbrella organization made up of some 40 mostly Shia Muslim militias.
No government or organization has claimed responsibility for the alleged strikes.
Washington has yet to comment.
