At least 32 people were killed in a suicide attack carried out by al-Shabab militants at a popular beachfront location in the Somali capital, a police spokesman said on Saturday.
Abdifatah Adan Hassan from the Somali Police Force said around 63 people were also wounded, some of them critically.
Video footage showed a number of bodies and injured people in Mogadishu’s Abdiaziz district.
Al-Shabab controls large parts of southern and central Somalia. The group is affiliated to al-Qaeda and has waged a brutal insurgency for nearly 20 years against the UN-backed government in Somalia.
