At least seven people have died after a car bomb exploded in Somalia on Sunday morning.
Around 7:30 a.m. local time, Somali Police Officer Major Ahmed Ibrahim told CNN that an attacker rammed a vehicle filled with explosives into the main entrance of a port in Mogadishu, the nation’s largest city and capital.
The deafening explosion, Ibrahim said, was followed by heavy gunfire.
After the blast, emergency responders arrived at the scene and rushed the wounded to hospitals, he said.
