Seven people are now reported to have died in a car bomb attack on a restaurant in Mogadishu.
Witnesses told Reuters that the blast had destroyed the cafe and damaged another one.
“So far we have carried seven dead people from the blast. Casualties may rise,” ambulance service director Abdikadir Abdirahman said.
Police said the blast took place near the compounds housing the security and sports ministries.
At least 10 people were also wounded in the blast, officials said.
No group has so far said it was behind the attack, but bombings are frequently carried out by Somalia’s al-Shabab militant group, which has threatened a “vicious war” against the country’s new government.
