A car bomb exploded outside a restaurant in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Sunday night, killing 5 and injuring 20 people as they watched the Euro 2024 football championship on TV, according to police, who blame Islamist terrorists.
The bomb destroyed 10 cars and injured many neighboring buildings in a heavily secured location near the Presidential Palace, according to a Reuters reporter.
Al Shabaab militants claimed responsibility for the attack on an affiliated radio station, claiming that the blast targeted a location where security and government staff gather at night.
The Islamist organization that once ruled parts of Somalia has fought for years to impose its stringent interpretation of Islam on the country.
Despite losing significant tracts of territory to government forces and their allies, the insurgents have launched numerous raids and fatal attacks in Mogadishu and other federally held territories during the last 2 years.
