BOSSASO, Somalia -- Somalia’s North Eastern State of Puntland has intensified security checks and night patrols in the Gulf of Aden Port City of Bossaso after second grenade explosion in a week, Garowe Online reports.
The Punties have been intensifying security in Bossaso all week. They intensified Monday, intensified it some more Tuesday, really intensified on Thursday, and turned the intensity meter to '11' today. Must be real intense there...
Security officials told Garowe Online that 20 people were arrested in connection with grenade attack on soldiers on Patrol at Afar Irdodka junction overnight on Wednesday. A soldier died and two others were wounded in the grenade explosion.

The massive security operation targeted Bossaso’s Raf and Raaho neighborhood, with officials disclosing that interrogations are underway.

Last Friday, two soldiers and a civilian bystander sustained minor injuries after suspected Al Shabaab assailants hurdled hand grenade into a police compound.
