A group of al Shabaab fighters launched a complex attack against Seafood and Beach View restaurants on 21/01. The attack began with a VBIED explosion at the entrance of the restaurants followed by around five attackers entering the restaurants from the beach side and firing at customers. Security guards from the restaurants engaged the al Shabaab fighters in a gun-fire exchange before NISA and Gaashaan forces arrived and took over the operation. Roughly an hour later, a second explosion (a suspected VBIED) happened outside of the restaurants but causing no casualties as the place was already cleared by NISA. Between 22:45 and 23:10, around six explosions of hand grenades were reported. Reports indicate that more than 25 people including a national UN staff and six attackers were killed and more than 50 others, including a national INGO staff were wounded. |
