At least 15 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack at a Shia mosque in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
The bomber blew himself up inside the mosque in the eastern al-Qahira district.
Some 30 people were also wounded in the attack, reports say.
The attack comes a day after bombings near Baghdad killed at least 10. There has been a surge in sectarian attacks in recent months on targets like mosques, restaurants and local markets.
The violence has rekindled fears the country is being dragged towards a wider conflict between the Shia majority and the Sunni minority.
"The suicide bomber detonated himself among the worshippers, who were gathering after the call to prayer," policeman Furat Faleh, who was near the site of the blast, was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.
Tuesday's attack comes a day after bombings near Baghdad killed at least 10 people in the cities of Taji and Fallujah, and included a blast in a roadside restaurant.
Last month was the bloodiest in Iraq since June 2008, with 1,045 civilians and security officials killed.
Tensions between the Shia Muslim majority, which leads the government, and minority Sunnis has been growing since last year.
Sunnis have accused the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of discriminating against them - a claim the government denies.
