Mogadishu Suicide Bomber Kills at Least 10 at Army Recruitment Drive

  • On Sunday, a suicide bomber targeted a line of young recruits waiting to register at the Damanyo army facility in Mogadishu, resulting in the deaths of at least 10 individuals.
  • The attacker detonated explosives after alighting from a speeding tuk-tuk and running into the line, amid hundreds of teenagers registering at the gate.
  • Healthcare personnel at the military facility reported receiving 30 wounded individuals from the explosion, six of whom succumbed to their injuries immediately, while numerous discarded shoes and the suicide bomber's remains were found at the site.
  • The attack echoed a 2023 suicide bombing at the nearby Jale Siyad base that killed 25 soldiers and followed the assassination of Colonel Abdirahmaan Hujaale the previous day.
  • Al Shabaab claimed responsibility, stating it killed and wounded soldiers, and local reports note militant infiltration into government forces, suggesting ongoing conflict intensity.
