Unidentified projectile hits house in Baghdad, two wounded: security sources

BAGHDAD, March 14, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Two people were wounded after a projectile fell on a house in Iraq's capital Baghdad on Saturday, two security sources said.

AFP journalists heard loud bangs in the capital followed by ambulance sirens, with witnesses saying they saw smoke rising from an area in the city's centre.

A security source said "a projectile fell on a house wounding two people," in the neighbourhood of Arasat, where several Iran-backed groups are known to be present, without being able to determine the type of the projectile.

Another security source confirmed two people were injured.
