Hormuud Telecom petrol tanker hit by a blast in Somali capital
2023-12-28
[ShabelleMedia] An explosion struck a fuel tanker in the Somali capital, Mogadishu on Monday, the latest in a series of IED attacks amidst stepped-up military operations.

The tanker which belongs to Hormuud, the country’s leading Telecommunications company is facing currently a threat from an unidentified group.

So far, no casualties have been reported as a result of the blast at the Wahar-adde area within the Huriwa district.

A similar attack targeted a Hormuud-owned minibus in the same area on Sunday, killing one staff member and wounding two others, who are at death's door.

The company lost at least two employees in the latest kabooms this month, and no arrest was made for the incidents by the security agencies of the government.

Several Hormuud Telecom branches were also targeted with IEDs, causing loss of property.
