MOGADISHU, 20 August 2021, (TON): An official said that at least two people were killed and several others wounded on Thursday evening in a suicide bomb explosion in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
The site of the blast was near the headquarters of the country’s National Intelligence and Security Agency, with a soldier among those killed, a police official in Mogadishu told Anadolu Agency.
“The police believe that the attack was caused by a suicide bomber wearing a suicide vest but an investigation is underway,” said the official, requesting anonymity as he is not authorized to talk to the media.
He added “at least three people, including two soldiers, were wounded in the attack and rushed to hospitals for treatment.”
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but Somali-based terror group al-Shabaab has claimed recent attacks in the Horn of Africa country.
