At least seven people were killed and many more injured by a suicide bomber who targeted a crowded restaurant in Mogadishu, Somalia on Friday night, a police official said.
The attack took place near Mogadishu airport, in a famous restaurant often visited by government and security officials.
Abdifatah Hassan, a Mogadishu police officer, told the Anadolu Agency (AA) that the attack killed at least seven people.
According to medical sources, at least 10 people were injured in the attack and were rushed to hospital for treatment.
Ismail Mukhtar Oronjo, a spokesman for the Somali government, informed AA that it was a suicide attack and that the bomber blew himself up inside the restaurant.
Security officials rushed to the scene and sealed off the area.
Although no group has yet to claim responsibility for the attack, Somalia-based al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for recent attacks in Somalia.
