Sibling dies, two others wounded after stepping on IED in Hiran region

GOOBJOOG NEWS|Beletweyne: One sibling died, while two others were injured when an explosive device went off in the area of Mir-adde, on the outskirts of Beletweyne town, Hiraan region.

Dahir Barre Elmi Durow, thirteen, was killed on the spot, and his siblings, Hassan Barre Elmi Durow, ten, and Waare Barre Elmi Durow, fourteen, were injured after stepping on a landmine planted by the terrorist group Alshabab.

Beleyweyne officials accused Al-Shabaab of planting dangerous mines along the roads plying Hiran and Galgudud, which are aimed at causing harm to civilians after they rallied their support behind government forces against members of the group.

Barely a week ago, twenty civilians died as a result of an Al-Shabaab attack in the Hiran region after Al-Shabaab attacked them while travelling between Beletweyne and Mahaas.
