Latest reports indicate that Iranian Shahed-136 loitering drones were launched toward the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. During the incident, the embassy’s close-range defense system the 20 mm six-barrel C-RAM capable of firing up to 4,500 rounds per minute was activated and fired continuously to intercept the incoming aerial threats.

Despite the intense defensive fire, some drones reportedly managed to evade interception and reach the embassy compound, causing damage within the facility. However, authorities have not yet released official confirmation regarding the extent of the damage or whether there were any casualties.
