Explosions and drone activity struck Baghdad, including a fire at the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center. Iraqi air defenses intercepted multiple drones, while rockets and missiles landed in different parts of the city, injuring civilians and damaging infrastructure. The United States Embassy in Baghdad activated its defense systems in response to the attacks. The incidents are linked to escalating tensions involving Iran-backed groups, particularly the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which has been targeting US interests following the broader conflict involving Iran, United States, and Israel. Although a temporary pause in hostilities has been announced, the situation remains volatile, with repeated attacks on diplomatic sites raising concerns about safety, regional stability, and further escalation.
Pray for the LORD’s protection over civilians and all those living in Baghdad. Pray that He will shield them from harm and keep them safe from violence and destruction. (The Holy Bible, Psalm 121:7).
Pray for the LORD’s healing for those injured and affected by the attacks. Pray that He will restore lives, comfort families, and bring hope in the midst of fear. (The Holy Bible, Psalm 147:3).
