At least seven people were killed and about 30 injured in a car bombing in the Husseiniyah district of Baghdad, officials said.
In Daquq, a town in Kirkuk province, six policemen died when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a counter-terrorism department's compound, AFP reports.
Other attacks were reported in al-Garma, Tuz Khurmatu, Dibis, Fallujah and Baquba, officials said.
The violence is thought to be linked to Sunni groups trying to undermine the Shia-led government.
More than 300 people died in attacks across Iraq in July - the highest monthly death toll since August 2010, according to government figures.
Although the violence is still below that seen at the height of Iraq's civil war in 2006 and 2007, it has been growing again since US troops withdrew last December.
