Several explosions thundered in the center of Baghdad

On Tuesday, in the center of Baghdad, several explosions were heard in the lively part of the city. According to the police, the building was fired from mortars, which is located next to the headquarters of the American administration in Iraq.

According to Reuters, a pillar of black smoke rises from the scene of the black smoke into the night sky in the "green zone" (the security zone where American institutions are located).

As a result of the shelling, one person died and were several injured. Along the street where the explosions thundered, glass was knocked out in the windows of the houses.

"Apparently, these were mortar shells, judging by the fragments found at the site of the explosions," said US Army captain James Collins. According to him, shelling was led from the northwestern part of the city.

Among the wounded there is a child.

In recent months, the US headquarters has been regularly subjected to mortar shelling in the evening, but so far none of the staff has died.
