A rocket struck near a UN compound in the heavily fortified Green Zone, killing two foreigners and wounding 15 other people, according to UN and military officials.

The victims were working for a catering company that provides services for the United Nations but their nationalities were not being released pending notification of relatives, a UN official said.

The official earlier said three foreigners were killed but later corrected the number to two.
