    Somalia’s campaign to rebuild its national army suffered a major setback when a powerful blast ripped through a Somali military recruitment facility on Thursday.

    This Explosion killed and wounded dozens of aspiring soldiers.

    What Happened in the Somali Military Recruitment Facility in Somalia ?

    • Location: The explosion struck a crowded enlistment camp on the outskirts of Mogadishu, where new recruits were lining up for routine screening.
    • Casualties: Initial reports from security officials and local medics confirm multiple fatalities and scores of injuries; the exact toll is still being verified.
    • Method: Investigators believe an improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated inside the queue, highlighting a serious breach of base security.

    Who Is Behind the Attack?

    No group immediately claimed responsibility.
    But suspicion quickly turned toward al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda-linked militants who have intensified asymmetric attacks as the Somali National Army (SNA) and African Union forces press their offensive in south-central regions.

    Wider Impact

    1. Recruitment Drive Disrupted – The SNA had been targeting thousands of new enlistments to replace units rotated to frontlines; today’s bombing could slow that momentum.
    2. Public Morale – Families of victims and civil-society leaders are demanding stronger protective measures around enlistment hubs.
    3. Security Review – Defense officials say an urgent audit of all urban barracks and checkpoints is under way to seal intelligence gaps exploited by insurgents.

    Government Response to the Explosion in the Somali Military Recruitment Facility

    Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre condemned the “cowardly atrocity” and vowed the attackers “will be hunted down.”

    He ordered extra medical teams to Mogadishu’s Madina and Banadir hospitals and promised compensation for bereaved families.

    Analysts warn that al-Shabaab is likely to exploit over-stretched security forces.
    As troops redeploy for upcoming offensives in Galmudug and Hirshabelle.

    Maintaining rigorous vetting procedures and perimeter defenses at recruitment centers is now an urgent national priority.

    However, will this explosion in Somali military recruitment facility be a start for a chain of explosions?
