At least 10 soldiers have been killed in a bomb attack on an Iraqi army base, officials say.
At least 29 people were injured in the blast, including 14 soldiers.
The suicide bomber drove his booby-trapped car past the security gate and blew it up outside the army battalion’s headquarters in Kanan, east of the provincial capital of Baqouba, 60km northeast of the capital, Baghdad.
A Diyala provincial council spokeswoman said emergency workers were frantically trying to rescue victims from beneath the rubble.
She said a second bomb was discovered nearby but defused by officials before it could explode.
