Iraqi security forces open fire at drone flying over Baghdad’s Green Zone

Iraqi security forces opened fire at a drone flying over Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, security sources said on Tuesday, adding that it ⁠was likely being used for surveillance.

The drone managed to escape after coming under fire, the sources said, with no immediate reports of damage ⁠or casualties.

The Green Zone houses government buildings and foreign missions, including the ⁠U.S. embassy, which has come under rocket and drone ⁠attacks in recent weeks following the ⁠U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
