The US embassy in Baghdad advised American citizens to leave Iraq "now." Earlier today, CNN reported, citing a security official, that two drones struck the embassy compound. The extent of the damage and whether there have been casualties remains unclear.
"US citizens choosing to remain in Iraq are strongly encouraged to reconsider in light of the significant threat posed by Iran-aligned terrorist militia groups," the embassy said in its latest security alert on Saturday. The embassy ceased consular services some days prior due to the conflict between the US and Israel.
Earlier today, several outlets claimed that smoke and minor flames were rising from a structure near the embassy compound. Iraqi security sources later reported that the strike destroyed the embassy's air defense system.
