Witnesses said the grenade attack, which took place late Tuesday, was targeting Somali troops, but that the casualties were civilians.
‘It was a busy market area...one person died and four others were rushed to hospital,’ said Ali Agey, a witness.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, but the Al Qaeda-linked Shebab have launched a series of guerrilla attacks in recent months, even as they have been forced to pull out of a string of key towns.
‘They threw a grenade near civilians... four people were injured,’ said Abdinasir Serar, spokesman for the city administration.
‘These criminals are desperate... the only thing they can do is harm the innocent.’
The extremists lost control of Kismayo in September to Kenyan troops with the African Union force, fighting alongside allied Somali forces.
AU troops continue to push forward into Shebab-held areas, although the extremists still control large areas of rural southern and central Somalia.
At the same time, Somalia’s newly elected president and parliament — set up in September in a UN-backed process — are struggling to rebuild stability after more than two decades of anarchy and war.
