A car bomb blast killed at least 11 people and wounded 50 others at a vegetable market in eastern Baghdad on Sunday, police and medical sources said.
The explosion hit the district of Jamila, the sources said.
"A soldier at the gate of Jamila market opened fire on a suicide car bomb after noticing a suspect vehicle but the terrorist blew up his car," Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman Saad Maan said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but all such recent bombings have been claimed by the ISIS group.
