Baghdad: At least six missiles were fired Sunday toward the US consulate in Iraq's northern city of Irbil, with several missiles hitting the building, Iraqi and US security officials said.
A US official said the missiles were launched from neighbouring Iran.
Early reports suggested there were no US military casualties, a senior US defence official said.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was still coming in, said it was still not certain exactly how many were fired and exactly where they landed. It also wasn't clear if there were other casualties.
The Iraqi security officials said there were no immediate report of casualties from the attack, which occurred shortly after midnight and caused material damage in the area. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
