❗️A drone was intercepted near Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone on Tuesday, producing a loud noise heard across parts of the Iraqi capital, Iraq’s Security Media Cell said in a statement. Two Iraqi security sources told Reuters that the US embassy’s air defense systems were activated after detecting two drones approaching the Green Zone’s perimeter, subsequently shooting them down. The sources added that debris from both drones was recovered at two separate locations, where security forces launched further investigations to determine their origin and intended destination. The Green Zone contains government offices and foreign diplomatic missions, including the US embassy.
