Al Shabaab launched a bomb attack on President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s motorcade in Mogadishu. Officials confirmed he was unharmed, despite casualties from the explosion. This attack is significant as it is the first direct assault on Mohamud since 2014, highlighting ongoing security threats in Somalia.
On a busy day in Mogadishu, Al Shabaab militants executed a bomb attack targeting the motorcade of Somalia’s President, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The militants later took credit for the assault, marking a significant threat to the presidential figure. Fortunately, both military and government officials confirmed that President Mohamud emerged unscathed from the incident.
This attack represents a continued effort by Al Shabaab to undermine the Somali government, emphasizing the persistent security challenges in the region. President Mohamud’s resilience remains critically important, especially given the recent combat with Al Shabaab in the Middle Shabelle region. This incident is notable as it marks the first direct attack on the President since his previous term.
