BAGHDAD - Death toll in Sunday's triple bombings in the Iraqi capital Baghdad has risen to 15, an interior ministry source said.

The official told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that three bombs exploded at a crowded market in Baghdad late Sunday, killing at least 15 people and injuring more than 60 others.

The blasts also caused damage to nearby shops and residence buildings.

No one has so far claimed responsibility for the incident and investigations are underway, said the official.

As many of the injured are under serious situation, the death toll might rise later, he said.
