Somalia, Terrorism, Level 3: Landmine explosion in Dayniile – Banaadir, Somalia

2025-04-22: At least one person was killed, while several others were injured on Tuesday evening (22 April, local time) after a landmine struck a restaurant near a security checkpoint along the main road in the Dayniile District of Mogadishu. No group has yet claimed responsibility. However, early indications suggest the involvement of the Al-Shabaab militant group, which has frequently been linked to similar acts of violence in the past.
Heightened security measures and operations of security forces are to be expected. Armed clashes are possible during arrests of terror suspects. Travellers are advised to exercise high caution, to strictly avoid operations of security forces, and to follow instructions from security forces.
