Explosion takes place outside busy café in Somali capital

 

An explosion took place outside a café Sunday in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, where attacks by an Islamic militant group are frequently reported, witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of casualties, Paralel.Az reports quoting AP.

Some people were watching the European soccer final between Spain and England on a screen inside the café when the explosion happened. Pictures posted online and purporting to be from the scene showed a fire burning outside the café.

The seaside city, which is sporadically targeted by the al-Shabab militant group, had been relatively peaceful in recent months.
