At Least 13 Killed in Suicide Bombing in Mogadishu, Somalia

A suicide bombing at an army recruitment center in Mogadishu, Somalia, killed at least 13 people and injured 30. The attacker targeted young recruits outside the Damanyo base on Sunday. Witnesses described a loud blast and chaos, with bodies scattered at the scene. Medical staff confirmed six deaths among the injured, while other reports cited up to 11 killed. No group has claimed responsibility, but the attack resembles a 2023 bombing at a nearby base. It follows the assassination of a Somali army commander a day earlier, amid rising concerns over al-Shabab’s continued infiltration into government and security forces.
