At least nine people have been killed and 20 injured in a bomb attack at a café in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, according to local police.

People had gathered at the café to watch the European Championship football final being shown on screens when a car loaded with explosives exploded outside.

It is unclear who is responsible for the attack, but Mogadishu and the rest of the country have previously been shaken by frequent attacks by the Islamist militant extremist group al-Shabaab.
