A military convoy belonging to African Union troops in Somalia (AMISOM) have been targeted in double bomb blasts in the southern Somali coastal town of Marko on Wednesday, reports said.

AMISOM’s convoy were hit roadside bombs believed to have been planted on the ground by Al shabaab while passing at Rusia area in Marko town, Lower Shabelle regional capital, according to the reports. The figures of the casualties were not immediately known.
