A car bomb exploded outside a restaurant in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, on Sunday night, killing five and injuring 20 as patrons were watching the final of the Euro 2024 football tournament on TV, police said, blaming Islamist insurgents.

The bomb destroyed 10 cars and damaged several buildings nearby in a well-guarded area near the Presidential Palace, a Reuters reporter said.

Al Shabaab terrorists claimed responsibility for the attack on an affiliated radio station, saying the bombing targeted a place where security and government workers meet at night.
