A series of bomb explosions claimed the lives of at least six individuals and injured 10 others in Somalia on Saturday. The attacks occurred in Mogadishu and the Middle Shabelle region, with no immediate claim of responsibility. Al-Shabaab is known for carrying out such attacks in the region.
In Mogadishu, a car bomb detonated near the National Theatre, resulting in five fatalities and seven injuries. Another explosion at a livestock market in Jowhar city left one person dead and three others wounded. These incidents highlight the ongoing conflict between Al-Shabaab and the Somali government.
The militant group aims to overthrow the government and impose its strict interpretation of Islamic law. The attacks serve as a grim reminder of the challenges facing stability and security in Somalia.
