Four people were wounded as a bomb blast took place on Friday in south of Baghdad, a security source was quoted saying.
“A bomb went off near a market in al-Suwaib region, south of Baghdad,” a security source told Baghdad Today.
“The blast left four people wounded, with no victims,” the source, who preferred anonymity, added.
Ambulances, according to the source, transferred the injured to hospitals for treatment.
Violence in the country has surged further with the emergence of Islamic State Sunni extremist militants who proclaimed an “Islamic Caliphate” in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
A total of 117 Iraqi civilians were killed and another 264 injured, excluding police, in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict in Iraq in November, according to casualty figures recorded by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).
