BAGHDAD, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Two Katyusha rockets fired at the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, an Interior Ministry official said on Thursday.
The incident took place in the evening when unknown militants fired the rockets at the zone, which houses some of the main Iraqi government offices and the U.S. embassy, the official told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The rockets landed on empty area and caused no casualty, the official said.
A third rocket landed on a nearby area in west of the Green Zone without causing casualties, the official added.
The heavily fortified Green Zone has been frequently targeted by insurgents' mortar and rocket attacks. The roughly 10-square-km zone is located on the west bank of the Tigris River, which bisects the Iraqi capital. Enditem
