At least 8 people were killed and 19 others injured in the two suicide bombings that took place on Wednesday in Bartiri town in the Gedo district in Jubbaland state.
According to Minister of State for Environment and Climate Change Adem O Hirsi, the first bombing targeted a base housing the Somali National Army and the Ethiopian forces of the African Union Transitional Mission in Somalia, while the second bombing took place near the city's airport.
Al-Shabaab extremists claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they targeted the camp because Ethiopian and Somali officials were meeting there. Provincial authorities denied the allegation.
