A building at a main presidential palace in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad was hit by a missile during coalition's air strikes on Wednesday, al-Jazeera TV channel reported.
Baghdad, home to 5 million people, has been under devastating bombings daily over the past 14 days since the outbreak of a US-led war on Iraq on March 20.
Iraq has since fought against the invaders in its central and southern key cities, who have been managing to move northward toward Baghdad to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Defying international opposition, the United States and Britain launched the war under the pretext of disarming Iraq of weapons of mass destruction.
Iraq has denounced the invaders as "criminals" and "villains," while urging the international community to stop the "aggression" unconditionally.
