At least two people were killed and ten others injured on Friday in two roadside bomb explosions at a marketplace in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, a police source told Xinhua.
"Two roadside bombs went off in a quick succession at the crowded market in Sadr City district in eastern Baghdad," the source said on condition of anonymity.
The blasts destroyed several shops and many stalls, and damaged several nearby buildings and civilian cars, the source said.
The death toll could rise as many wounded are in critical condition, the source added.
Terrorist acts, violence and armed conflicts have killed 691 Iraqis and wounded 1,016 others in August across Iraq, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq said earlier.
Many blame the current chronic instability, cycle of violence, and the emergence of extremist groups, such as the IS, on the U.S. that invaded and occupied Iraq in March 2003.
