Mogadishu — Two separate remote-detonated bombs targeted solar power street lights lined along Maka Al-Mukarama road in the capital Mogadishu early on Thursday morning, Garowe Online reports.
Local reports confirmed that the bomb explosions left two civilians wounded and destroyed two solar powered street lights.
"I heard a thunderous explosion that shook my shop, I went out to see the incident but I saw wounded civilian and destroyed street light," said a nearby shop keeper
This is the second bomb explosion targeting newly installed street lights which Banadir regional administration said were intended to increase public safety by hampering night assassinations and also to enable businesses to stay open late.
On 15 July, similar explosions targeted solar powered street lights installed at Mogadishu's 30 road.
Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab group recently claimed to have carried out over 108 terror attacks during the holy month of Ramadan alone and Mogadishu has been a scene for random violence including car bomb attacks and military style ambushes which reached record heights.
