There are no reports of the casualties in the US embassy attack in Baghdad.
The Al-Balad base, north of Baghdad, was hit by Katyusha rockets, security sources said.
The US has feared a backlash against its mission and bases where its troops are deployed across Iraq following the precision drone strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on Friday.
According to the reports, Katyusha rocket has hit Baghdad's Green Zone where the United States embassy is located.
US helicopters were seen in the sky over Baghdad soon after the blasts were heard.
