A bombing killed three children at a popular swimming area in Iraq on Wednesday, following a similar attack two days before, police and a doctor said.
The bomb was planted near Al-Shakha river in the Muqdadiyah area northeast of Baghdad.
The explosion came after mortar rounds struck a swimming area on the Tigris river north of the capital on Monday, killing four people, including a child.
Muqdadiyah has been hit by several attacks in recent days, including a bomb targeting worshippers leaving a Sunni mosque on Tuesday, killing four people and wounding 15.
The children killed on Wednesday were also Sunni.
