Summary Three car bombs killed at least 7 people and wounded 75 in the northern city of Kirkuk on Wednesday. The triple attack targeted a security building. The shock wave released by the blasts also inflicted damage on surrounding facilities and nearby buildings.
According to reports, the offices of a Turkman political party suffered damages in the explosions. Police cordoned off the area after the incidents and launched an investigation. The attacks are the latest in a new spate of deadly bombings that have claimed dozens of lives across war-torn Iraq over the past week. At least 48 people, including eleven children, were killed and 65 wounded on January 27 when a car bomb targeted a funeral ceremony in Baghdads predominantly Shia district of Shula. Recent terrorist attacks in Iraq have mainly targeted the majority Shia community and security forces.
