At least five people, including children, were injured in a series of landmine explosions in the Garasbaley district of Galmudug, Somalia, over the course of two nights. Witnesses reported that six explosives were strategically placed outside homes with closed-circuit cameras, increasing fears in the area. These attacks occurred as Mogadishu was facing growing tensions over a government initiative to install thousands of security cameras to monitor al-Shabaab activities and improve public safety. The authorities in Garasbaley and Mogadishu have not yet commented on the incidents, which have intensified public anxiety over the growing threats.
