A bloody explosion in the center of Basra in Iraq with dead civilians

At least four people were killed and four others were injured in an explosion in the center of Βασόρας, in the south Iraq, today.

Speaking of “a motorcycle explosion”, Basra security forces said in a statement that “four civilians were killed and four others were injured, while two vehicles near the motorcycle caught fire”.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place at a crossroads in central Basra, near a hospital and a popular market, as reported by international news agencies and the Athens News Agency.

There have been no such attacks in recent years in this Iraqi city. But in recent weeks, Islamic State has launched a series of bloody attacks on Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq.
