Earlier on the day, Mohamed al-Rubei’y, head of the security committee of Baghdad provincial council, told Sputnik that thirteen civilians were killed and injured as a booby-trapped vehicle exploded in east of the capital.
The car, according to Rubei’y, exploded at Jamila region, located in Sadr city, in east of Baghdad, leaving three civilians killed, one of whom succumbed to death at hospital.
Ten others were seriously injured, he added.
Several explosions occurred in Baghdad on Sunday. Three civilians were killed and injured as an IED went off at an area southwest of Baghdad. This came a few hours after two car bombings rocked two areas also southwest of Baghdad, killing and wounding eight people.
Violence and armed conflicts left more than 500 Iraqis dead and wounded during the month of July, according to a monthly count by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq which excludes security members deaths.
