Five people were reportedly killed during three explosions across Baghdad on Tuesday.

Iraqi officials told The Associated Press that five people were killed and 13 were injured in the incidents. 

At least three people were killed and five were hurt in an explosion in the southwestern Baiyaa neighborhood and two were killed and four were hurt in the northeastern Shaab City, according to the AP.
