The blasts occurred on Saturday, at the Sobe junction in Mogadishu, near the education ministry. The site was the same junction that saw an al-Shabab* truck bombing in 2017 that killed over 500 people.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud visited the site of the terror attack and vowed to defeat the "radical group" responsible for the explosions.
According to Mohamud, the death toll from the blasts stands at 100, while more than 300 people were injured. The number of fatalities is likely to rise.
The blast came the same day that the Somali president, prime minister and various senior officials had gathered to discuss efforts to combat the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabab group.
