Five Iraqi soldiers were killed Friday and seven others injured in a car bomb blast in the western city of Fallujah, a security source said.
A bomber blew up his booby-trapped truck at an army checkpoint in northern Fallujah, the source said.
Several armored vehicles were also burnt in the blast.
The death toll is expected to rise as many of the injured are in a serious condition, the source said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
There was no comment from Iraqi authorities.
