One person was killed and nine others wounded when a mortar round exploded in the grounds of a hospital in Baghdad.

A security officer at the Ibn el-Bitar hospital said the mortar landed in the garden.

It happened just after a rocket exploded in the car park of a hotel used by foreign news organisations. Five vehicles were damaged in the explosion but there were no injuries. It is thought the hotel rocket may have been aimed at a nearby church.

The explosions followed overnight bomb attacks that damaged five churches in the Iraqi capital.
