A devastating blast struck Mogadishu’s Bakara market, claiming at least one life and marking the second explosion in just over a month. Suspected to be an improvised explosive device, the explosion ravaged dozens of shops, leaving residents and business owners reeling from profound losses. Firefighters battled the flames as the community watched in dismay. While responsibility remains unclear, the Islamist group Al-Shabaab, known for frequent bombings in Somalia, emerges as a potential culprit. The incident underscores the ongoing struggle for stability in the face of extremist violence.
