On Wednesday night, numerous mortar bombs struck in different districts of Mogadishu, killing at least one civilian and injuring another.
One civilian was murdered in the Hamarweyne area, according to residents, when a mortar fire hit near Case-Italia. Other mortars that hit the Boondeere and Shangani neighbourhoods injured three more people.
Although Al-Shabaab frequently claims responsibility for such assaults, no one has claimed responsibility for the mortar attacks in the capital.
The security services have yet to respond to the attack.
During last week’s al Shabaab 30-hour bombardment on the Hayat hotel, four mortars fell in civilian dwellings in Mogadishu, killing at least four civilians and wounded others.
