At least 34 people have been killed by a large car bomb in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, police say.
Another 72 people were injured by the explosion from a parked car in the northwest of the city.
The attack happened near a popular restaurant in Shula, a mainly Shia neighbourhood.
In the last few days several similar attacks have targeted crowded tea shops across the capital, but this is the largest attack this month.
All victims were civilians and the toll is expected to rise, police said.
The most recent large attack happened on 29 April when three bombs exploded in Baghdad.
