On 13 June 1993, an element of the Pakistani contingent of UNOSOM II opened fire with a machine gun onto a crowd of protestors in Mogadishu, Somalia, shooting approximately 70 Somalis. At least 20 people were killed in the attack, including women and children, and more than 50 others were wounded. The shooting took place in the aftermath of the 5 June 1993 clash at Radio Mogadishu a week prior.
The killings fed into a growing anti-United Nations sentiment among Somali citizens, leading to greater public support for the Somali National Alliance against UNOSOM II forces.
