Jowhar Landmine Explosion Kills Four Members of a Family

A landmine explosion in Jowhar left four members of the same family dead.

The four individuals were traveling in a single auto-rickshaw when the explosion that snuffed out their lives occurred.

Apparently, their auto-rickshaw ran over the Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

The incident took place on Monday, February 14.

Authorities believe that Al-Shabaab militants planted the IED at a spot in Jowhar district’s Hansholey village.

The family members were traveling to Mahaday district, Middle Shabelle.
