Among those killed in the explosions are regional Health Minister Zakaria Mohamed Ahmed and other senior government officials of Hirshaballe regional State.
The terror group has since taken credit for the explosions.
This even comes as Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the killing of Mogadishu Police Commander Brigadier General Farhan Mohamud Adan alias Farhan Qarole who was killed in a landmine explosion in Bala’d district on Friday.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has called for heightened onslaught against the insurgents who have been trying to destabilise the Horn if Africa Nation that is grappling with myriad challenges including biting drought that has affected close to half of the population.
