Al-Shabab group claimed responsibility for the attack, which came a day after a deadly car bombing in Mogadishu.
A suicide bomber blew himself up at a shop selling tea in Somalia’s capital, killing at least seven people, police and witnesses have said.
The explosion on Friday occurred inside a tea shop in Bar Bulsho Mogadishu near the presidential palace in central Somalia, said police spokesman Sadik Dudishe.
“All the casualties were people spending time to drink tea,” Dudishe said.
The cafe is frequented by members of the Somali security forces, as well as civilians.
