BAGHDAD (AP) — Two U.S. soldiers were killed and five others were wounded in a mortar attack near the Iraqi capital, the military reported Saturday.

The two 15th Sustainment Brigade soldiers were killed Wednesday in the vicinity of Baghdad, the military said without providing details. The wounded were transported to a nearby military medical facility for emergency treatment and further evaluation.

The incident is under investigation, the military also said.

The attack occurred the same day the military said rockets fired from a nearby abandoned school struck Camp Victory, on Baghdad's western outskirts, killing two members of the U.S.-led coalition and wounding 40 other people on the sprawling headquarters for U.S. forces in Iraq.
