“The official number of the dead has reached 30 people – all of them civilians – and 61 others have been wounded, 15 of them seriously,” Abdurashid Abdulahi, the governor of Somalia’s Bay region, told AFP.
The African Union’s top official for Somalia, Francisco Caetano Madeira, condemned the attack.
“I am saddened by the loss of innocent lives through acts of terror committed by ruthless individuals who have no value for life,” he said.
