At least 26 are dead, after two car bombs exploded in different parts of Baghdad.

Dozens more were wounded.

One blast took place near a marketplace in the Shi'ite neighbourhood of Sadr City.

Another went off in Karrada district in front of a coffee shop.

Baghdad has seen a surge in bombings over the past month, most claimed by Islamic State militants who have seized large parts of Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
