Two explosions — almost two dozen dead: details of the terrorist attack in Baghdad (video)

At least 17 people died

Suicide bombers made two explosions at the market in the center of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, as a result of which at least 17 people died, and more than 25 people were injured.

It is reported Reuters.

The killers set off explosive devices in the busy market on the Tajaran square. It is located near Tahrir Square in the center of the Iraqi capital.

The Iraqi military said that two attackers in explosive vests blew themselves up among shoppers at a crowded market on Tajaran Square.

A representative of the Iraqi Ministry of Internal Affairs told Reuters that at least 13 people were killed, but some of the wounded are in serious condition and the death toll may rise.

Later, the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Iraq informed the Kurdish information channel "Rudau" about 17 dead.

Note that this is the first such incident since 2017, when the country's authorities announced victory over ISIS.
