This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 6 July 2015.
The bomb fell on three houses in Baghdad Jadida and exploded in the eastern part of the Iraqi capital. The fighter jet had been taking part in an airstrike against Islamic State militants and was returning to base. One of its bombs failed to get released from the plane during the mission and, subsequently, dropped as the plane was returning to base. The incident took place near the Rasheed air base and left 11 people wounded.
Iraq had received Sukhoi Su-25 jets from Russia and Iran last year in its efforts to bolster its fledgling air force and fight against the Islamic State jihadist group that overran large parts of the country. These aircraft are designed for ground attack missions, but the Sukhoi fleet of Iraq consists of ageing planes that have seen heavy use.
