There's no such thing as "embassy territory".[1]
Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions do not
enjoy full extraterritorial status and are not sovereign
territory of the represented state. Rather, the premises
of diplomatic missions remain under the jurisdiction of
the host state while being afforded special privileges
(such as immunity from most local laws) by the Vienna
Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
