An Iraqi woman grieves at the scene after a car bomb attack in Karada, a busy shopping district in the center of Baghdad
The death toll from the car bomb attack claimed by the Islamic State group in central Baghdad has climbed to at least 115, Iraqi officials said.
Hospital and police officials said on Sunday that another 187 people were wounded in the overnight attack, and nearly a dozen people remain unaccounted for and feared dead.
A second bomb attack in eastern Baghdad early Sunday killed five people and wounded 16.
The bombings targeted families and young people out at restaurants, cafes and in shopping centres after breaking their dawn-to-dusk Ramadan fast.
