Militants attack a hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu, killing at least nine people
A militant attack on a hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu has killed at least nine people, Somali National Television reports.
Earlier, the local Internet portal Garowe, citing the police, reported that Al-Shabab militants (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) attacked the Pearl Beach Hotel in Mogadshio. It was noted that officials and politicians often stop here. SONNA later reported that the security forces had successfully neutralized the militants, killing all seven of the hijackers.
At the same time, “six innocent civilians died as a result of a monstrous attack.” Also during the operation, three security personnel were fatally injured. “The security forces safely rescued 84 people,” the TV channel reported, citing police data.
The radical Islamist group Al-Shabaab is based in Somalia and is waging an armed struggle against the country’s central government.
