The bombings were allegedly carried out by the terrorist organisation Al-Shabaab

In the wake of terrorist attacks that shook Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, and reportedly left at least 100 people dead, India strongly condemned them and asked the world community to unite and be determined in the fight against terrorism in all of its forms and manifestations on Sunday.

"India strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in Mogadishu on 29 October 2022 that have claimed many innocent lives," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Sunday.

"We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wish speedy recovery to those injured in the twin blasts," it added.

The MEA went on to say, "This attack again reminds the international community to stand united and resolute in combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, as it remains one of the gravest threats to international peace and security."

On Saturday, two vehicle bombs exploded close to the education ministry in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, killing up to 100 people and injuring more than 300 others, news reports said.

According to a representative of the President's Office, the two vehicle bombs detonated close to the Ministry of Education at a popular crossroads in the capital.

In a video message uploaded on his official Twitter account, President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said that the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab terrorist organization, which frequently attacks the city, was responsible for the horrific attack.

Taking to Twitter, President Mohamud wrote, "Today’s cruel and cowardly terrorist attack on innocent people by the morally bankrupt and criminal al-Shabaab group cannot discourage us but will further strengthen our resolve to defeat them once and for all. Our government and brave people will continue to defend #Somalia against evil."

Although the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for previous recent attacks, there was no quick claim of responsibility for this one, according to CNN.
