Mogadishu — The authorities of Mogadishu’s international seaport on Friday talked about suicide attacks that rocked the port on Thursday afternoon.
Ahmed Ali Kahiya, the deputy manager of Mogadishu harbor, said they had managed to thwart deadly suicide attacks at the seaport.
Thursday attacks were the first such explosions to take place in the seaport of the capital Mogadishu since 1991.
Mr. Kahiye said in an interview with Shabelle Media Network that armed men jumped over the outer walls of seaport and stealthily entered in it.
He said two men had blown themselves up inside particularly very close to the perimeter of seaport.
The official noted that the security forces had not received any casualties but one civilian man killed in the attacks. Also, two suicide bombers died.
Al shabaab has claimed the responsibility of the attacks.
