At least six people were wounded on Saturday when mortar rounds hit the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
The shells landed in residential areas in the Wardhigley and Bondhere districts, leaving six civilians injured, according to a witness.
Among the wounded are a Quran school teacher and an elderly woman, both of whom were taken to the hospital.
Somali security soldiers arrived at the scene, cordoning off the area for investigation and searching for shell remnants.
It remains unclear where the mortars were fired from. This is not the first time mortar shells have struck parts of Mogadishu.
No group has claimed responsibility for the shelling, but such attacks are often attributed to Al Shabab, an Al Qaeda-linked group.
Driven out of Mogadishu in 2011, Al Shabab continues to carry out deadly attacks in the capital and elsewhere.
For over a decade, the militant group has fought to impose a hardline interpretation of Sharia law in Somalia.
Al-Shabab still controls large swaths of southern and central Somalia..
