Meantime, the number of casualties is still unknown as the death toll may rise any time soon.
The first suicide attack took place in the Wadajir district, south of the capital, where three municipal police officers were wounded and were transferred to the hospital immediately.
China’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, has previously urged all Somali parties to make every effort to face these terrorist attacks.
Jun expressed China’s concern over the serious security situation in Somalia, hailing efforts of the African Union Mission in Somalia in this regard.
