NEWSROOM (ADV) – A bomb blast has killed at least two people and injured 13 others in Somalia’s southern town of Baidao, police said on Tuesday.

The bomb placed along the road exploded as the youth of the town gathered to hold traditional celebrations.

The area was targeted because it was where the youth were holding the celebrations.

No one has claimed responsibility for the latest attack but the militant group al-Shabab has conducted similar attacks in the past.
