A deadly car bomb targeted a tea and coffee shop in central Mogadishu as patrons watched the Euro 2024 final soccer game between England and Spain.

Police in Mogadishu said five people were killed and 20 others were injured in the attack.

In a statement on its Facebook page, the police confirmed that a car filled with explosives parked outside the Top Cafe caused the explosion.

Police said the car bomb went off at 10:28 p.m. local time.

A survivor of the attack told local media that he was watching the game inside the cafe when the explosion occurred.

The survivor, who spoke anonymously out of fear for his safety, said customers sitting outside the cafe suffered the most casualties.

The attack comes a day after Somali security forces foiled an attempted jailbreak at Mogadishu's main central prison after militant inmates using pistols and hand grenades, attacked prison guards.

Authorities said three prison guards and five militant inmates were killed in Saturday's attack.
