Multiple rockets have been launched at the US embassy in Baghdad. 

They are believed to have missed the embassy, with local reports suggesting they hit an apartment complex instead and killed civilians.   

It is the second night in a row that the embassy has been attacked and comes after the US killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. 

Iraq's military said in a statement on Sunday that three Katyusha rockets had fallen in Baghdad; two inside the heavily fortified Green Zone and one in the nearby Jadriya area. 

Six people were wounded, police sources said, with one rocket thought to have hit a family home.  

Residents of the Iraq's capital of Baghdad said explosions rang out inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone, home to the US Embassy and the seat of Iraq's government.

Alert sirens were sounded Sunday in the area on the west bank of the Tigris river.
