In addition, another person was killed by the explosion of a device near a shop in Al Fallujah, 50 kilometers west of the capital, where shortly after a second bomb exploded, injuring five people. On the other hand, at least three people were injured by the impact of three rockets "Katyusha" on the fortified "Green Zone" in Baghdad, which houses embassies and government buildings.
