At least 23 people have been killed in two suicide bombings in Baghdad.
It comes on the day the government was due to lift a night time curfew.
More than 50 people are believed to have been injured in the blasts.
In the first attack, a suicide bomber reportedly detonated his explosive belt inside a restaurant in the Shite neighbourhood of New Baghdad, leaving 12 dead.
In the second, two bombs ripped through a market district in Sharqa, killing 10 people.
An interior ministry spokesman said he did not believe the blasts were linked to the decision to lift the curfew.
The Iraqi government announced on Thursday that the decade-old curfew in the capital would end on Saturday at midnight.
The moves are part of a campaign to normalize life in Baghdad and to persuade residents that the city no longer faces a threat from Islamic State (IS), who have seized large areas of northern and western Iraq.
