A drone strike hit a building housing Finland’s embassy in Baghdad, as attacks linked to the illegal US-Israeli war against Iran reached diplomatic sites in Iraq’s capital, authorities said on Tuesday. The strike targeted the Al-Rasheed hotel inside Baghdad’s Green Zone, where several embassies and government offices are located. The Finnish foreign ministry confirmed to MTV News that the embassy operates from the building. The ministry said staff were safe and remained in contact with officials.
