Roadside bomb
Two soldiers died after three bombs exploded in Sadiyah, 95km north of Baghdad, injuring three others.
Police said one attack caused all five casualties, as a car bomb exploded on an Iraqi base.
A roadside bomb nearby also damaged a police vehicle but the officers inside were not injured.
Immediately afterwards, a suicide bomber attempted to rush the convoy but was deterred by police shooting at him.
After fleeing he blew himself up in a nearby orchard, police said.
An explosion also occurred near a hospital in Sadiyah. Police said there were an unconfirmed number of casualties.
