Daesh has claimed responsibility for two bombing attacks targeting Shia neighborhoods in central Baghdad on Thursday, Reuters reports.
According to Reuters, 23 people were killed and 68 others injured in two separate suicide bombings, one of which occurred in the Bab al-Sharqi neighborhood and the other in al-Wathba square located in central Baghdad.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq released a statement earlier this month saying that a total of 1,325 Iraqis were killed and another 1,811 wounded in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict in August.
