At least three people, including civilians, were killed and seven others injured in southwestern Somalia on Friday in a bomb blast that targeted a busy market, according to an official.
Abdiqani Mohamud, a police officer in Baidoa city, told Anadolu Agency that the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device set to explode during the crowded daytime hours.
“A lot of people, including consumers of the narcotic Khat [plant] were at the market. We don’t know exactly how many people have been killed but we know for sure so far that three were killed and more than seven others injured in the attack,” Mohamud said.
