An Iraqi military base used by American troops was hit by several small rockets that reached inside Baghdad's fortified Green Zone on Saturday night, a coalition spokesman said.
There were no casualties from the latest in a flurry of attacks on US forces in Iraq and around its embassy in Baghdad, which the US blames on Iran-backed paramilitary groups.
An attack last month hit the US Embassy compound itself, and a rocket attack on a military base in the north in December killed a US civilian contractor.
