At least 35 people, including eight members of a single family, died on Wednesday when Al-Shabab terrorists detonated two car bombs in central Somalia, SIA refers to foreign media.
The attack in the town of Mahas in the Hiran region was the latest in a series by the Al-Qaeda affiliate since government forces and allied clan militias began pushing the insurgents out of territory they had long held.
“Most of the dead are civilians. They are women and children,” said Hassan-Kafi Mohamed Ibrahim, deputy police commissioner of Hirshabelle state.
“Only one child survived from a family of nine. Other families also lost half of their members. The two suicide car bombs burnt many civilian homes to ashes,” authorities reported.
Mahas District Commissioner Mumin Mohamed Halane said one bomb targeted his house and the other hit the home of a member of the Federal Parliament. Some of the wounded were admitted to Recep Tayyip Erdogan hospital.
The building targeted in the attacks was the headquarters of the security forces conducting an operation against Al-Shabaab.
