At least 24 people were killed and 50 others wounded in bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad on Thursday.

Iraqi officials said bombings targeted the Athoryeen market in Dura, southern Baghdad, and the Saba al-Bur area of northern Baghdad.

The attacks come a day after similar explosions claimed the lives of more than 40 people across Iraq.

Two days earlier, over two dozen people were killed as a large group of militants attempted to take control of security positions in the towns of Rawa and Aana in the western province of Anbar.
