 Mortar attack injures two civilians in Mogadishu’s Wadajir district


At least four mortar shells struck El-Qalow village in Mogadishu’s Wadajir district on Thursday morning, injuring two civilians, according to residents. 


One of the mortars landed on a residential home, causing damage and government officials have not yet provided additional details.


No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but al-Shabab is known for carrying out mortar attacks in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia. 


In April, the militant group launched a mortar attack targeting Somalia’s presidential palace, killing three civilians and injuring four others.


The presidential compound in Mogadishu, also known as Villa Somalia, houses the president, the prime minister, and the parliament speaker.
