At least eight Iraqis were killed and four more were wounded in unusually light violence.

Gunmen killed five people, including a policeman’s sister, during a home invasion in Husseiniya.

Two people were killed and a third person was wounded during a car bomb in Nasariya. The attack targeted a former Mahdi Army member, or it resulted from explosives the man was carrying himself.

Two soldiers and a woman were wounded during an explosion in Hammam al-Aleel.

A young man’s body was found in Amara.

Five suspected bombers were captured in Qayara.
