Major attacks

On 14 March 2024, a suicide bomber affiliated with al-Shabaab detonated a device outside the SYL hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia. Three guards and two security forces were reported killed. Five gunmen then stormed the hotel in a 13-hour siege, causing a gunfight with the army which resulted in the deaths of three soldiers and the six attackers. Twenty-seven other people were wounded. The hotel is located close to the Presidential Palace. The location makes it popular with government officials.
