An officer stated that a suicide bomber targeted a military training camp in Mogadishu, Somalia, on Tuesday, killing at least 15 army cadets.

"I counted around 15 new recruits killed in the blast," army officer Mohamed Adan said, adding that the number could be higher.

When the explosion occurred, the bomber was disguised among recruits queuing outside the General Dhegobadan Military Camp, according to Adan.
