On 29 October 2022, 121 people were killed and over 300 were injured by a double car bombing in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud accused Sunni jihadist group al-Shabaab of carrying out the attacks, which they admitted.[2][3][4][5] The bombing marks the deadliest attack in Somalia since the 14 October 2017 Mogadishu bombings at the same junction.[6][7]
