A drone struck a major US diplomatic facility in Iraq on Tuesday in suspected retaliation by pro-Tehran militias over the US-Israeli war on Iran, the Washington Post reported, citing an unidentified security official and an internal US state department alert.

The strike hit the diplomatic support centre, a logistical hub for US diplomats near Baghdad airport and Iraqi military bases, it reported. It was not clear whether there were any injuries. Five other drones were intercepted.

The state department issued an internal alert saying a drone hit near a guard tower and that individuals at the facility were ordered to “duck and cover,” according to the Post.
