Two bombs have exploded at a busy market in central Baghdad, killing at least 21 people and wounding more than 40 others.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks on Saturday (local time), but Islamic State regularly targets civilians in the Iraqi capital.
Police said the blasts went off near car spare parts shops in Sinak during the morning rush.
One of them was triggered by a suicide bomber, the other was a planted explosive, an Interior Ministry official said.
Islamic State has lost much of the northern and western territory it seized in 2014 and is now resisting an Iraqi offensive on the northern city of Mosul, the terrorist group's last major stronghold in the country.
