BAGHDAD, April 7 (Xinhua) -- A drone crashed into a house in Baghdad's western Ameriyah neighborhood Tuesday evening, killing one person and wounding four others from the same family, an Iraqi Interior Ministry source told Xinhua.
Earlier reports said large explosions shook the Iraqi capital Tuesday night.
In a separate incident, another drone struck a building in Baghdad's Jamila neighborhood, sparking a fire.
The ministry source also confirmed that a rocket barrage targeted the Victoria base, which houses the U.S. Embassy's diplomatic support center near Baghdad International Airport. No immediate information on casualties was available from that attack.
The incidents come amid heightened regional tensions following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran starting Feb. 28, to which Iran and its regional allies responded with attacks on U.S. and Israeli interests across the Middle East. ■
