Separate bombing explosions have left at least 38 people dead and dozens more injured in the Somali capital city of Mogadishu, Press TV reports.


Ten explosions rocked the northern and southern districts of Mogadishu on Wednesday, killing at least 24 people and wounding several others, a Press TV correspondent said.

Our correspondent added that the victims are mostly women and children.

The cause of the explosions is not known yet and no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Meanwhile, a separate attack at a military compound killed over 14 soldiers and wounded 18 others.

The Army Chief narrowly escaped the attack which was reportedly carried out by al-Shabab fighters.

Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991, when warlords overthrew former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.
