Awoman was reportedly been shot in the clitoris after a stray bullet entered her home while she was sitting in her living room.

The 24-year-old from Somalia was rushed to hospital in severe pain after the 2cm bullet came through her ceiling while she sat in her living room.

CT scans revealed the bullet had become lodged inside her clitoris after being fired into her vulva, meaning she required surgery to have it safely removed.

On arrival at the hospital, the woman told the obstetrics and gynaecology team at Erdoğan Hospital in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, that she sat in her lounge when the stray bullet fell through the ceiling.

Pelvic exams showed where the bullet had penetrated the clitoris, while CT scans confirmed the placement of the bullet.

Under local anaesthetic, medics then proceeded to remove the bullet from the clitoris.

Following its surgical removal, with no complications observed, the woman was discharged home the following day ‘in good condition’, medics said.

Follow-up appointments a month later revealed there had also been no further complications. (The Nation)
