Permanent road closures, traffic diversions from July 20 on Klang’s Jln Langat-Jln Batu Unjur junction after JKR approves final design, says LRT3 project contractorA group of people look at the debris and destruction at a cafe in Mogadishu on July 15, 2024 following a car bomb blast where five people were killed where football fans were watching the Euro 2024 final.
Images posted online showed a huge fireball and plumes of smoke billowing into the night sky as the explosion ripped through the popular restaurant in the centre of the city on Sunday.Police officer Mohamed Salad rushed to the scene a few minutes after the blast and told AFP that several bodies were discovered under the debris.
Witnesses described scenes of panic and chaos after the blast, with people scrambling for safety and the main entrance to the cafe destroyed by the blaze. But on Saturday, five inmates said to be Al-Shabaab fighters were killed in a shootout with guards in an attempted jail break from the main prison in Mogadishu.
But the offensive has suffered setbacks, with Al-Shabaab earlier this year claiming it had taken multiple locations in central Somalia. UN resolutions called for troop numbers in the AU peacekeeping mission, known as ATMIS, to be reduced to zero by December 31 with security handed over to the Somali army and police.
