Sa'id Shire Warsame, a cameraman for Shabelle Media who lives near the hilltop palace, known as Villa Somalia says at least seven mortars have been fired overnight at the palace, but missed their target and slammed into a large IDP camp in Wardhiglay district where hundreds of internally displaced people are currently locating.
"Four people from one family were among the dead while the two others young girls, all IDPs after fired mortar barrages from hiding places in residential neighborhoods. The victimized ones were rushed to the hospitals in Mogadishu to get medical assistance," he added.
The deputy district commissioner of Wardhiglay for Somali government Mohammed Mohamud Mohammed confirmed to Shabelle Media the death and he stated that the situation in the area is tense after the security forces launched home-to home search.
No one has so far said it carried out the attack.
Somalia has been racked by violence for more than two decades and hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes, creating one of the world's worst humanitarian emergencies.
