A rocket that landed inside Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the U.S. Embassy, hit a residential home and injured a child Sunday morning, according to Iraqi military sources. The U.S. embassy’s C-RAM air defense system was functioning late Saturday, but it is not clear if it attempted to intercept the rocket, according to the Associated Press, quoting anonymous sources.
