Somalia: Bomb blast kills at least six in Hiran province

At least six people were killed and several wounded Thursday in a bomb blast in Somalia’s central state of Hirshabele. A police officer in Jowhar, the administrative capital of Hirshabele, told the Turkish news agency that the attack involved a car blast that went off near a busy small market in Burloburte in the Hiran province.

“As of now, we know that six people including two soldiers were killed but casualties could rise,” he said.
