At least nine people were killed and several others wounded in simultaneous car bomb attacks in a town in central Somalia on Wednesday, security officials and witnesses said.
The attack, blamed on Al-Shabaab jihadist fighters, took place in the Hiran region of central Somalia, where a major offensive was launched last year against the Al-Qaeda-linked group.
According to a local security official Abdullahi Adan, the terrorists attacked a town called Mahas this morning using vehicles loaded with explosives.
He also confirmed that nine people, all of them civilians, died in the two explosions.
