Three separate explosions rocked Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 25 people and wounding dozens of others, police said.

A suicide bomber crashed into an Iraqi police checkpoint at an entrance to the Sadr City neighborhood — the Iraqi capital's largest Shiite slum — killing 10 people and wounding 15, police said.

Elsewhere, a parked car exploded near a private hospital in the central neighborhood of Karradah — killing 11 people and wounding 13, police said. The blast damaged the Abdul-Majid hospital and other nearby buildings.

The third explosion was from a bomb left on a minibus in the northwestern Risafi area, killing four people and wounding six others, police said.
