Iraqi security forces open fire at drone flying over Baghdad’s Green Zone

Iraqi ​security ​forces opened ‌fire at a ​drone flying over Baghdad's ‌heavily fortified Green Zone, security sources said on Tuesday, adding ‌that it was likely being ‌used for surveillance.

The drone managed to escape after coming ⁠under ​fire, ⁠the sources said, with no immediate ⁠reports of damage or casualties.
