After the explosions, a firefight broke out between security forces and al-Shabaab militants*

The media specify that the head of the district police, Hodan Hussein Adad, as well as correspondent Mohamed Isse Kona, also became victims of the tragedy.

Several suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the hotel building, and one of them drove through the door of the building. The militants seized the hotel and held it for more than a day. The security forces staged an assault and tried to knock the attackers out of hiding.

Then about 30 people died.
