On August 19, local time, many explosions occurred in the capital of Somalia. According to reports, after the explosion, the unknown gunner controlled the Hatal Hotel in the Somalia capital.

The local police confirmed that the Somali security forces have entered the Hamt Hotel Building and recaptured most of the control of the hotel from the guns. Police Maxinhagi said that some gunmen hijacked civilians as hostages and opened fire from the hotel inside the hotel. The police spent more than 24 hours before ending the hotel's siege.

According to reports, two security officials including Mohdin Mohammed, including Mogadi Sausa, were injured in continuous attacks.

McDanian Hospital said that the number of deaths may rise, and many victims are in critical condition. The hospital is one of the two major hospitals in Mogada, and most of the victims are sent here.

After the attack, the Somali "Youth Party" armed member, which is linked to the "Base" organization, claims to be responsible for the attack.

According to a statement of the United States African Command, the United States has recently killed 13 members of the "Youth Party" in an air strike. It is unclear whether the attack is related to the US military's air strikes.

In May of this year, Biden overthrew the Trump administration's decision from Somalia to withdraw from Termia, and decided to re -deploy the army with Somali to support the local government and crack down on the "Youth Party".
