People gather as an ambulance carries the dead body of an unidentified woman killed in an explosion that occurred while revellers were swimming at the Lido beach in Mogadishu, Somalia August 3, 2024. - REUTERS/Feisal Omar: An Al-Shabaab suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a busy beach in the Somali capital Mogadishu, killing 32 people and wounding scores more, in one of the deadliest attacks in months, police said on Saturday.
Unverified videos shared online in the immediate aftermath of the attack showed people scattering along a street, with a number of clips purporting to show bloodied bodies lying on the beachfront. “Targeting and blasting to kill 32 members from the civilian population means these Kharijites are not going to target only government centres, soldiers and officials,“ he said, using the term Somali officials adopt to describe Al-Shabaab.
Witnesses said there were many people at the popular location when the explosion occurred, describing how gunmen then stormed the area.“Everybody was panicked and it was hard to know what was happening because shooting started soon after the blast,“ witness Abdilatif Ali told AFP.“I saw many people strewn and some of them were dead and others wounded,“ he said.“I saw wounded people at the beachside.
