At least seven people were killed and six others injured on Thursday when a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a restaurant in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, local police confirmed in a statement.
While no group immediately claimed responsibility, the Islamist militant group al Shabaab, known for carrying out bombings and armed attacks in Mogadishu and across Somalia, is often behind such incidents.
The targeted restaurant, located opposite a police training station, was a popular spot for police officers, according to a security source.
“My cousin and four of his colleagues died in the blast. We are rushing to the scene to take his body,” Hassan Osman, a relative of one of the victims, told Reuters.
The al-Qaeda affiliate frequently attacks military outposts and state targets as part of a mission to overturn Somalia’s government and establish its own rule.
