Another car bombing hit a vegetable market in the Tarabya section, killing at least six people and injuring 14.
At least four people have also lost their lives following a bomb blast near an intelligence branch of the Interior Ministry in northwestern Baghdad earlier Monday, said Iraqi officials.
No group or individuals claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack so far, however, Iraqi officials usually blame them on the Takfiri ISIL militants.
