Mortar shells killed a woman and her three children in Mogadishu in the first such attacks in the Somali capital in weeks, witnesses said.
Several other people were injured in the shelling late Sunday, which locals said appeared aimed at the presidential palace.
Remnants of an Islamist group ousted from the capital are blamed for assassinations and roadside bombs targeting security forces.
