A rocket attack near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and an Iraqi base where U.S. troops are stationed resulted in no casualties, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials.

Four rockets hit near the embassy and Iraqi base inside the Green Zone early Sunday morning, causing minor damage but no injuries or fatalities. The attack is the latest in a string of strikes on Iraqi military bases that are also housing U.S. servicemen.
