Rockets have been fired near the US Embassy in Baghdad and a military airbase housing American troops.

At least two rockets landed near the embassy, which is located in the security-tight Green Zone, according to Sky News Arabia.

It also reported that security at the embassy's perimeter was stepped up after the rockets fell. Earlier this week, pro-Iran protesters stormed the US embassy in a siege that lasted just over a day.

Another three rockets were fired at Balad Airbase housing American troops, about 50 miles north of the city, according to Reuters.
