March 15 (Reuters) – A fragment of an Iranian missile struck a residential building used by the U.S. consul in Jerusalem, Israeli media reported, although the U.S. State Department said there were no injuries to U.S. personnel.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement that debris struck a residential area following the intercept of a missile.
“The United States strongly condemns Iran and Iran-backed terrorist militias’ attacks on diplomatic, military, and civilian infrastructure, in the region,” the spokesperson said.
