According to security reports, at least one to two explosions were heard on the main road of Jisr Diyala district, located southeast of the capital Baghdad. The Interior Ministry announced that the cause of the explosion was confirmed to be a car bomb.

Terrorists planted a bomb near a fire station and when it exploded, a group of young people who had just left a nearby football field were unfortunately among the victims. The capital Baghdad and its southern and northern suburbs continued to be hit by attacks for the third day.

Nine others were killed in car bombs and magnetic bombs, according to authorities. In recent months, Iraqi authorities say the number of terrorist attacks has dropped significantly.
