An Iraqi security official said Saturday that three bombs have exploded in the northern oil city of Kirkuk, killing a woman.
Brig. Gen. Ali Kamal said the blasts occurred late Friday night in three different places.
The blast in al-Quds street in central Kirkuk occurred in the evening at a peak shopping time in the month of Ramadan, killing the woman and wounding 18 others.
He added that the other two explosions did not inflict any casualties.
It was not clear who was behind the blasts but the oil-rich city was targeted in the past in attacks carried out by ISIS extremist group.
Also Friday, the Iraqi Interior Ministry released a statement thanking cleric Moqtada al-Sadr for his call for a nationwide disarmament campaign.
It said the ministry is going ahead with its plans to preserve the security and safety of Iraqi citizens and confront justly the proliferation of illegitimate weapons across Iraq.
