Among those killed are university students who were travelling in a bus. A decade ago, a suicide bomber killed 14 medical students at a graduation ceremony at Benadir University, Somalia.

Though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, it is highly likely that Al-Shabaab insurgents carried out the attack. Local officials say that they are keenly monitoring the situation.
