Baghdad (News Today) - Two civilians were killed and 35 people were wounded when a car bomb exploded in central oil-rich Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Wednesday morning, police said.

The car bomb exploded in a busy road that leads to Kirkuk municipality building and Kirkuk general hospital.

Seven police officers were among the wounded people who were in a police patrol parked on the side of the road.
