MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – No less than three international nationals misplaced their lives on Sunday in a mortar assault focusing on the closely fortified Halane base in Mogadishu, which homes diplomatic missions, together with these of the US, United Kingdom, and the United Nations.
Pictures circulating on social media revealed vital harm to buildings throughout the Halane base, the place the mortar shells struck each workplace and residential areas, underscoring the severity of the assault.
The Al-Qaeda-affiliated militant group Al-Shabaab has asserted duty for the assault, marking a dramatic escalation in its operations throughout the capital, regardless of the pronounced presence of safety forces patrolling the town.
The African Union Transition Mission (ATMIS), which maintains a presence on the base, condemned the assault, asserting that it could not deter their ongoing efforts to revive stability in Somalia. Nonetheless, the mission kept away from addressing the casualties attributable to the mortar shells.
