At least six people were killed and 25 wounded on Tuesday when a car packed with explosives was detonated in a district in north of Baghdad.

The blast in Rashidiya targeted a vegetables market in the district, spokesman of the Baghdad Operations Command Saad Maan said.

Baghdad is on high alert for attacks after a blast in the central Karrada district on July 3 killed at least 292 people, making it one of the deadliest bombings in Iraq since US-led forces toppled Saddam Hussein 13 years ago.
