A total of five people, including four security members, were killed and 11 others injured in the two blasts, the source added.

On Thursday morning, four car bombs detonated in Almas and Arfa districts, both in northern Kirkuk, including a successive attack near a police station, he said.

Our latest report said that a total of three people were killed and 20 others wounded, including policemen, by the four blasts, he added.

Early in the day, the police source reportedly put the casualties at three people killed and 10 others injured by the four blasts.
