A car bomb near a Shia mosque in the Iraqi capital Baghdad has killed at least 15 people, officials say.
At least 27 others were wounded in the blast, according to initial reports. The explosion happened in the northern, largely Shia neighbourhood of Kasra.
No-one has yet said they carried out the attack, but suspicion will fall on Sunni militants.
Sectarian violence has surged in Iraq in recent months, reaching its highest level since 2008.
More than 5,000 people have been killed and 12,000 injured since January, according to the United Nations.
The spike in deadly violence in recent months comes amid rising sectarian and ethnic tensions, triggered in April by an army raid on a Sunni Arab anti-government protest camp near Hawija.
The country has also seen a spillover of violence from the conflict in Syria, which has taken on increasingly sectarian overtones.
