Death Toll From Explosions at Local Gov't Office in Somalia Rises to 23
The number of victims from twin deadly blasts in Somalia’s north targeting at the local government has increased to 23, media reported Sunday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, two consecutive explosions in Somalia’s north-central Mudug region hit local government headquarters and emergency services at the scene.
21 August 2016, 09:01 GMT
The bombings claimed lives of 23 people, including a number of students and local traders, the CNN broadcaster reported citing local officials.
The media outlet added that al-Shabaab terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Somalia has been experiencing violence since the country devolved into civil war in the early 1990s. The state’s collapse provided a breeding ground for warlords, pirates and the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Shabaab.
