Mogadishu [Somalia], Mar 7 (ANI): At least four people were killed and nine wounded after a vehicle laden with explosives detonated in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Thursday, reported Xinhua.
The explosion occurred at a restaurant not far from the Presidential residence. The blast also destroyed several parked vehicles.
"So far we can confirm that four people are dead and nine others injured in the explosion. The number of casualties could rise any time," Xinhua quoted a police officer as saying.
