At least 11,118 Iraqis, mostly civilians, have been killed in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict so far this year, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) announced on Thursday.
According to the UN mission, a great portion of the fatalities was recorded in the capital, Baghdad, and the Takfiri Daesh militant group was responsible for most of the attacks.
Just on the day that the report came out, at least three people were killed and more than a dozen others injured in a series of bomb explosions in residential neighborhoods in Baghdad.
Two people were killed and six others injured on Thursday morning when a roadside bomb went off close to an outdoor market in the town of Mahmudiyah, about 30 kilometers (18 miles) south of Baghdad.
