At least 32 people were killed and 63 others injured in a beach attack in Somalia's capital Mogadishu late Friday, police said on Saturday.
"Over 32 civilians died in the restaurant attack," police spokesperson Abdifatah Aden told a press conference, adding that one attacker had blown himself up while three others had been killed. One attacker was captured alive, he added.
Al-Qaeda’s East Africa affiliate, al-Shabab, said through its radio that its fighters carried out the attack.
The explosion occurred while residents were swimming on Lido beach, former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire said on his X account.
