MOGADISHU, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Four people were killed and 11 others wounded in multiple bomb attacks in Kismayo district, southern Somalia Tuesday.

"Four people including two women were killed and 11 others wounded in nine separate landmine attacks in which terrorists targeted civilians near Bula-Haji village under Kismayo district," the state-owned radio reported.
