Two car bombs killed at least 16 people and wounded 50 others in Baghdad streets packed with crowds preparing for the Ramadan fast.
Isis claimed responsibility for the first blast outside a popular ice cream shop just after midnight, which killed at least 15 and wounded 40 in the commercial Karrada district.
A few hours later, a second bombing killed one person and wounded 12 more near a government office or market in the Karkh district. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Early reports put the number of dead in the second attack at three.
The latter bombing targeted the Karrada district, which was hit by a massive truck bomb in July 2016 that killed at least 324 people, the deadliest attack in Iraq since the US-led invasion of the country in 2003.
The 2016 blast was also claimed by Isis.
CCTV video of the explosion shows a busy downtown area, with cars driving down the street when a massive blast strikes.
Then, a huge fireball engulfs a building, forcing the cars to scramble to get away.
Videos of the attack posted on social media show wounded and bloodied people crying for help on the sidewalk outside the ice cream shop.
Both bombings happened during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, during which people stay up late and many eat out to prepare for the fast the next day.
Isis claimed the attack in Karrada, a mainly Shia Muslim district, through its Amaq news agency.
"Isis terrorists tonight in Baghdad target children and families enjoying time together at an ice cream shop," Brett McGurk, the US special envoy to the anti-Isis coalition tweeted. "We stand with Iraq against this evil."
The terrorist group called on its supporters to wage "all-out war" during Ramadan.
Ramadan has previously seen a spike in Isis terror attacks. Last year, the US State Department warned that a “call to martyrdom during the month may hold a special allure to some”.
The hardline Sunni group has been retreating in Iraq since the end of 2015 in the face of US-backed government forces and Iranian-backed Shia paramilitary groups.
It is now besieged in an enclave in the northern city of Mosul, which it has used as its de facto capital in Iraq.
Isis declared a "caliphate" over parts of Syria and Iraq in 2014.
