Mogadishu (SD) – At least 10 civilians are reported to have been killed and many more injured after a vehicle hit a landmine in the outskirts of Mogadishu today.

The Federal Government of Somalia has issued a statement in today’s bombing that killed dozens of civilians in Hawo Abdi region in the Capital.

The government sends its condolences to the families of those who died and blamed the Al-Qaeda linked al-Shabaab for its involvement in the blast.

No one has claimed responsibility for today’s blast, though Al Shabab is known for similar attacks targeting AMISOM and Somalia Army vehicles in that region
