A roadside bomb on Wednesday struck Somalia's capital city of Mogadishu, following Tuesday's bombing killing four persons.

The bomb explosion went off in a street, with one person slightly injuried. Witnesses said that the blast was apparently aimed at government vehicle that past the site minutes before the explosion.

Reports say that the area around the town of Afmadow where advancing allied Kenyan and Somali government troops who have been battling with Islamist rebels have seen heavy exchange of shelling and Islamist fighters as well as local residents have been fleeing the town.

Somali government officials blame Islamist group of Al Shabaab of being behind the Tuesday's suicide car bomb blast that killed at least five people and injured more than ten others.

Al Shabaab who have previously took responsibility for similar attacks, have not so far commented on the suicide car bomb as well as the road side bomb explosion in the Somali capital.
