Beledweyne Blast Kills One, Injures Seven at Local Restaurant.

Tuesday 29 Oct, 2024 {HMC} At least one civilian was killed and seven others injured in an explosion targeting a popular restaurant in the Howlwadaag neighborhood of Beledweyne, Hiiraan region, on Tuesday.

The restaurant, frequented by local youth, particularly football players, was the site of the blast, leaving nearby residents in shock.

Security forces arrived at the scene hours later to investigate but did not report any arrests.

Tensions have been escalating in Beledweyne in recent weeks. Last night, gunmen killed a Somali National Army soldier, Abdirahman Ali Kaar, and took his AK-47 rifle in the Koshin neighborhood.
