A warplane bombed the rebel-held town Baardheere in southern Somalia on Saturday, hitting an empty feeding center run by the Somali Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent Society (SRCS) and killing one civilian, according to local residents.
They could not identify who carried out the attack. Kenya, eight weeks into an offensive to crush al Shabaab, said on Saturday it had launched an air strike earlier this week on a nearby compound.
Hawa Abdillah Mo'alim said, "The bomb hit a feeding centre run by the Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent Society and a school building. Fortunately it was not a food distribution day."
Locals said the bomb destroyed the center's water tank. They also said the victim was a man, but no further details were available. |
