Read BBC report below:
A car bomb in Iraq has struck a market in eastern Baghdad, killing at least 11 people and injuring dozens more.
Interior ministry spokesman Saad Maan was quoted as saying a security guard fired on a suspicious vehicle and the driver then blew it up.
It is not yet clear who was behind the blast, but so-called Islamic State (IS) has claimed recent attacks targeting Shia Muslims in the city.
IS is under pressure from an Iraqi government offensive in the north.
