20-August-2021
At least four people were killed and several others injured in a suicide bombing in the Somalian capital of Mogadishu, a police officer said.
"So far, we know that four people including the suicide bomber were killed and dozens of others sustained injuries," he said.
The scene of the attack is near the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) headquarters and the restaurant is frequented by security forces.
The authorities have not established whether security officers were among the casualties in the latest blast which comes as the elections of the Upper House are ongoing.
Witnesses said security forces have sealed off the scene.
No group has claimed immediate responsibility for the latest attack in the restive city but an Al Qaeda allied terrorist group usually stages such attacks.
