ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — The Islamic State group (ISIS) claimed responsibility for an explosion Thursday evening in the Kadhimiya area of northern Baghdad.
Pro-ISIS websites published a statement from the group in which they claimed their fighters detonated an explosive device at a "gathering of the Rafidah [Shiite] infidels" in the Kadhimiya area, killing three people and wounding more than twenty others.
The Iraqi military’s Security Media Cell said the blast was the result of an exploding gas pipe in a shop. It did not report any deaths, but stated some people were injured.
In its weekly propaganda newspaper al-Naba, ISIS claimed it conducted 20 attacks across Iraq between May 27 and June 2, killing and injuring 25 people.
