The blast set ablaze two other vehicles and sent a column of black smoke into the sky. The governor of Basra, Asaad al-Idani, told reporters on the scene that a motorcycle had exploded, quickly blaming militants from the Islamic State group. Iraq's Security Media Cell, an outlet affiliated with the country's security forces, said in a statement that four people were killed and four were wounded as a result of the fire in two cars that were near the motorcycle.
Explosions have been rare in the oil-rich, predominantly Shiite Basra region in recent years, particularly since the defeat of the Sunni militant Islamic State group in 2017.
