More than 25 people have been killed in a series of car bombings across the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, officials say.

The attacks targeted mainly commercial areas in the districts of Karrada, Baiyaa, Shurta, Tobchi and Zafaraniya, police said.

They came at the end of fasting for the day. Muslims are observing the holy month of Ramadan.

More than 2,500 Iraqis have died in violent attacks since April, according to UN figures released this month.

The level of violence is at its highest since 2008, and comes at a time of heightened tensions between Iraq's Sunni and Shia communities.
