On 15 June 2021, a suicide bombing occurred in Mogadishu, Somalia.[1][2] It happened at the General Dhegobadan Military Camp, where the bomber killed 15 army recruits.[1][2] He was in a queue of recruits, pretending to be one of them.[1]
Al-Shabaab, the Somali/East African branch of al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the bombing.[2] It was the deadliest attack in the Somali capital since December 2019, when an al-Shabaab truck bombing at a police checkpoint killed 85 people and wounded 140 others.[1][2]
