Somalia: Explosion in Mogadishu kills at least five people and wounds eight others, Sept. 14 /update 1
Bombing in Kahda District, Mogadishu, Somalia, kills five people and injures eight others, Sept. 14. Increased security likely.
Roadside bombings in Mogadishu's Kahda District killed at least five people and wounded eight others, Sept. 14. The explosive devices had apparently been placed on a popular street in the district. There have been no claims of responsibility; however, the al-Shabaab militant group regularly claims responsibility for such attacks.
Authorities will likely maintain heightened security measures in the area in the coming hours. Localized transport disruptions will probably affect areas subject to increased security. Business disruptions may also impact areas affected by heightened security and transport disruptions.
Avoid the impact site until authorities have determined that no further attacks are imminent and give the all-clear. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation.
