2018-01-24
[RADIOSHABELLE] At least five Somali government soldiers are reported to have been killed and several others maimed in a landmine blast near Mogadishu on Tuesday.

According to witnesses, the kaboom which has resulted from a roadside kaboom has destroyed a convoy ferrying Somali troops at Taredishe area, about 13Km west of the capital.

Al-Shabaab

has claimed credit for the attack and said it killed the commissioner of Elbur district and his security guards after their vehicle was hit by a remote-controlled IED.

Radio Shabelle, however, could not independently verify the claim of al-Shabaab over the death of the DC. The Somali military did not respond to calls for comment.
