One person was killed and others were injured in clashes between security forces and opposition militias in “Growe”, the capital of Puntland state in northeastern Somalia.
The incident came after the militias launched an attack on a gathering in the central square in Gharwe to welcome a social media activist named Captain Ayoub, a supporter of the President of Puntland State, Said Abdullahi Deni.
Ayoub, who returned to Puntland from outside the country, constantly criticized opponents of the President of Puntland, and the incident coincided with the political tension in Puntland due to the dispute over the election issue between the regional government and the opposition.
Reports indicated that the opposition militias also fired a mortar shell towards the presidential palace in Gharwi, but there was no news that the shell that did not fall inside the building caused losses.
