The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/terrorism" target="_blank">extremist group</a> al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack that occurred as military officers and Gedo administration officials in Bardhere began to recruit locals to help drive al-Shabab out of the Middle and Lower Jubba districts.

Witness Ibrahim Aden said at least 10 people including <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/disasters" target="_blank">civilians were wounded</a>. "I have seen with my own eyes several people, including two of my distant relatives, sustain injuries," he said.

A Somalian governor and senior military officers were wounded in an extremist attack when an explosive-laden car targeted the entrance of a guest house.
