Rockets hit Kuwaiti embassy in Baghdad

Iraqi police say three rockets have hit Kuwait's embassy which is located in Baghdad's heavily protected Green Zone. Two rockets fell near the entrance of the Kuwaiti embassy on Tuesday, but no casualties were reported. Another rocket also hit the house of Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq. The assault has prompted the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry to recall its diplomats and embassy staff from Baghdad. Kuwaiti Ambassador to Iraq Ali al-Momen said the embassy staff are safe and will return to Kuwait to spend the month of Ramadan there. The number of assaults on Baghdad's Green Zone has recently increased.
