The deadliest of the day's attacks came shortly before sunset, when a bomb exploded in a street in Baghdad's southeastern suburb of Jisr Diyala. Minutes later, a car bomb went off near the site of the first blast as people started gathering around it to help the victims, AP reports.

Two bomb blasts killed at least 22 people and wounded 43 others on the main street of a suburb of the Iraqi capital.

At least one of the explosions in the Jisr Diyala neighbourhood on the southeastern edge of Baghdad was caused by a car bomb, an interior ministry source said.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings but Iraq sees near-daily attacks, mostly by Sunni insurgents targeting the country's Shiite majority and security forces. The attacks are often claimed by the ISIS group.

Earlier Tuesday, a parked car bomb went off in a commercial area in the town of Mishada, 30 kilometers north of Baghdad, killing at least four civilians and wounding 12, police officials said.

In Baghdad's northwestern Shula neighborhood, a bomb exploded near a restaurant, killing three civilians and wounded eight, they said. Another bomb also killed three civilians and wounded nine in a commercial area in Youssifiyah, 20 kilometers south of Baghdad.

Two more civilians were killed and seven others were wounded when a bomb struck an outdoor market in Latifiyah, about 30 kilometers south of Baghdad. Another bomb hit a police patrol in Madain, about 20 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, killing a police officer and a civilian and wounding five people.

And in Baghdad's northern Shaab neighborhood, a bomb blast killed one civilian and wounded five.
