At least five Iraqis were killed and 11 others injured on Monday in a car bomb blast in Baghdad, a security source told Anadolu Agency.
The death toll is expected to rise as many of the injured are in critical condition, the source added.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Recent months have witnessed an upsurge in violence across Iraq.
Although most such attacks go unclaimed, Iraqi authorities usually point the finger at Al-Qaeda-linked militants.
