In the city of Wasit, southern Iraq, a swing ride at the City of Dreams amusement park crashed to the ground, resulting in injuries to 16 people, including 14 children. The incident was captured on nearby security cameras, prompting an investigation. Following the accident, the Wasit Governorship closed the amusement park to visitors. This comes after a similar incident in Basra last month, where seven students were injured in an amusement park accident.
