At least two people were killed and seven others wounded on Saturday in a landmine in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu.

The attack took place in Mogadishu’s Hiliwa district, according to Ahmed Abdulle, a local police officer who spoke to Radio Dalsan over the phone.

“The attack was a landmine explosion attack, an improvised explosive device targeted Carib vehicle,” Abdulle added.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bomb attack but Somali-based al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group, has been responsible for many deadly bombings in the Horn of Africa country.
