First reports say no injury.
Not clear if they were errant or aimed yet.
A security source has told the BBC that a Katyusha rocket landed in an abandoned building belonging to a security company in Baghdad’s Green Zone. It is close to the US embassy. The source said it is understood the rocket was fired into the Green Zone from eastern Baghdad.
