“A car bomb parked at a restaurant exploded. The restaurant is behind the police academy. So far we do not know the casualties,” police officer Major Mohamed Hussein said.
The car bomb exploded at a restaurant near the police academy in the capital city of Mogadishu on Thursday evening, police said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility, though Islamist al Shabaab fighters have launched a string of attacks in the city.
