Multiple explosions have struck the government buildings in an Iraqi city, killing 10 people and injuring 15 others, security officials say.

Three simultaneous blasts occurred on Thursday in Ramadi, 100 km west of Baghdad, Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Ismail, spokesman for Anbar military command, said.

Another explosion also took place near Ramadi general hospital, AFP reported.

Over the previous months, regular attacks have occurred in Ramadi, capital of the restive al-Anbar province, Ismail said.

On January 17, a bomb blast targeting a convoy carrying Anbar governor Qassim Mohammed Abid wounded three bodyguards and six policemen. Abid was unharmed in the attack.
