violence in the country, despite beefed up security in several towns across the Horn of Africa nation, which is battling instability.

Somalia has been a hotspot of terrorism in Africa, with al-Shabaab turbans closely associated with al-Qaeda, dominating several parts of the rural central and southern parts of the country. IS-Somalia turbans are also dominant in northern parts.

State media reported that the ten died near Abdalla Birole township in the outskirts of Kismayo

, the regional administrative capital of Jubaland. This is the first time the turbans are attacking Jubaland in as many months.

"10 non-combatants were killed and three others maimed after a bus they were traveling in ran over an IED bomb planted by the forces of Evil on outskirts of Kismayo town of Somalia’s Jubbaland State, on Friday, " state media reported.

Al-Shabaab turbans have since taken responsibility but could not explain why they targeted civilians. Usually, the group targets senior civil servants, security forces, and at times, innocent civilians like yesterday.
