Two Russian civilian contractors have been killed in Iraq in an attack on the bus they were travelling in, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said.
Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko, speaking on state TV, said five others were injured. Two Iraqis also died.
The contractors were employees of the Russian company Interenergoservis working at a power plant in Baghdad.
A worker from the company died earlier in Iraq, in a 10 May ambush in which two colleagues were kidnapped.
The two were released a week later.
Three Russian and five Ukrainian employees of the company were kidnapped last month but released the next day.
