At least six people were killed on Sunday and 22 others were injured after a car bomb exploded in a district of Iraq’s Najaf Province.
Local media reported that the incident took place in Qadisiyah district, with some security forces and civilians believed to be among the casualties.
Separately, gunmen raided a checkpoint in Najaf’s al-Meshkhab area, but the number of possible casualties is not clear.
Meanwhile, some local sources reported several mortar attacks around Najaf Province.
No group has claimed responsibility for the latest terror assault, but ISIL terrorists have in recent months increased their acts of violence across Iraq in revenge for the blows they have been taking from Iraqi armed forces during the Mosul liberation battle.
On Saturday, the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, also witnessed a bloody day, when at least at least 28 people at a crowded market in a bomb attack, later claimed by the Takfiri ISIL terror group.
