Deadly Explosion in Somalia Caused by Discarded Mortar

More than 20 people, mostly children and young people, were killed and over 50 injured in Somalia's Lower Shabelle region when an unexploded mortar shell detonated near an area where they were playing. The shell was reportedly left behind by warring factions, and recent rainfall had uncovered it. Local officials have called for aid agencies to clear mines and shells from the area.
