A series of bombings killed at least 31 people in a Shi'ite area of Baghdad today, security and medical officials said.
The attacks, the deadliest attacks to hit the Iraqi capital this year, have been claimed by the so-called Islamic State group.
IS also attacked an army position west of Baghdad, temporarily holding it and killing at least eight security personnel over the course of the day.
There was two blasts near a market in the Sadr City area of northern Baghdad, at least one of which was a suicide bombing.
At least 76 people were also wounded, security and medical officials said.
IS, which overran swathes of territory north and west of Baghdad in 2014, claimed the attacks in a statement online that said two suicide bombers had detonated explosive belts in Sadr City.
IS considers Shi'ite Muslims, who make up the majority of Iraq's population, to be heretics and frequently targets them with bombings and other attacks.
The jihadist group also claimed twin suicide bombings targeting Shi'ite worshippers on Thursday that killed at least nine people in Shuala, another Shi'ite-majority area in northern Baghdad.
