On Monday evening, a drone attack was reported at the Al-Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad, Iraq, which is also the location of the Finnish embassy. The Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed the incident to MTV, assuring that the staff at the embassy are safe and that there has been contact with them following the attack.

The Al-Rasheed Hotel is situated in the Green Zone, an area known for hosting several government buildings and embassies due to its higher security measures. The fact that the hotel was attacked raises concerns about the overall security situation in Baghdad, particularly for foreign missions and their staff.

Fortunately, the attack did not result in any reported injuries or material damage, as per reports from journalists including Reuters. However, such incidents underscore the volatility of the region and the ongoing risks faced by diplomatic entities operating in Iraq, necessitating a reevaluation of security protocols for embassies in unstable regions.
