Mortars landed residential areas near the presidential place in Mogadishu.

There are no reports of casualties in the late night attack in the capital.

“There were mortar attacks aimed at Villa Somalia and there is no casualties so far” said one of Mogadishu’s residents.

“We were scared because the mortars were landing very close areas to our houses, we don’t know who was launching them” Rahmo Abdille added.

Alshabab is thought to be behind these attacks despite no group has claimed the responsibility.

Residents say mortar attacks on villa Somalia were routine, but this was the first since the beginning of this year.
