A deadly explosion struck a passenger bus in Somalia, resulting in six deaths and multiple injuries. The attack, attributed to the terrorist organization al-Shabaab, raises new concerns about security and stability in the region.
A horrific explosion rocked the Shabeellaha Hoose region in Somalia, targeting an innocent passenger bus. According to local authorities, the explosive device, believed to be the result of an attack carried out by members of the al-Shabaab terrorist organization, resulted in the deaths of six people and injured twelve others, including children.
The governor of Shabeellaha Hoose, Mohamed Ibrahim, stated to the Somali national news agency that the attack was aimed at businessmen, thus highlighting potentially economic motives behind this shocking act of violence. Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group affiliated with Al-Qaeda, is known for its frequent attacks in Somalia aimed at destabilizing the government and sowing terror among the population.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud responded with determination to this deadly attack. He expressed his resolve to combat al-Shabaab and strengthen the country’s security. The attack underscores the urgency of a coordinated and resolute response to counter the persistent terrorist threats facing Somalia.
