AFGOYE, Somalia - A powerful explosion occurred in the Afgoye district in the Lower Shabelle region on Monday morning, the latest in a series of insecurity acts that show police incompetence.

The attack took place at the vegetable market in Afgooye, especially where the tax department of the district was stationed. The explosion caused casualties, although the number is not yet confirmed.

The government Security forces arrived at the scene following the incident and stopped the movement of the vehicles and the public during investigations that failed to detain the culprits.
