    Mogadishu (HOL) - At least two people were killed on Tuesday in a mortar round attack by suspected al-Shabab members near the presidential palace in Mogadishu.

    According to residents, one of the mortar shells landed in a civilian house in the Wartanabada district, claiming the lives of a father and his daughter. The mother of the family sustained injuries in the incident.

    Reports indicate that the father, who tragically lost his life in the mortar attack, was a well-known Quranic school teacher in the Wartanabad district of Mogadishu.

    Earlier this week, the Somali government released images of the aftermath of an explosion attack at a mosque in the Daru-nimca area of the Middle Shabelle region. The government has accused Al-Shabab militants of carrying out the attack on Friday.

    Photos displaying the damaged mosque buildings were shown on Somali national television, but no information about casualties was provided.
