[Regnum] At least five people were killed and at least 20 more were injured as a result of an explosion in the Somali capital Mogadishu near a cafe where visitors were watching the final match of the European Football Championship. This was reported on July 14 by the Somali television and radio company Shabelle Media Network.

It is specified that the explosion was caused by a car bomb parked near the popular Top Coffee cafe, in which many people were at the time of the explosion. After the explosion, a fire broke out in the building.

"The horrific event occurred as visitors gathered to watch the long-awaited Euro 2024 football match between Spain and England," the publication notes.

Rescuers and police officers are working at the scene. According to eyewitnesses, as a result of the explosion, part of the wall collapsed in the cafe, and the blast wave blew out windows in the houses next to the building.

A police spokesman said that, according to preliminary information, the car bomb near the cafe was left by a suicide bomber.

Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that the FSB prevented an armed attack by a member of a terrorist organization banned in Russia on an Orthodox church in Adygea. The terrorist was preparing an attack on a church in the city of Maykop and the murder of its clergy and guards, followed by arson of the building. The FSB reported that the criminal's activities were promptly identified and stopped during the measures taken.

On June 23, terrorists in Dagestan attacked two Orthodox churches, two synagogues and a traffic police post in Makhachkala and Derbent. As a result of the attacks, 22 people were killed, including the rector of the church, Father Nikolai (Kotelnikov), and the head of the police department of the city of Dagestanskiye Ogni, Lieutenant Colonel Mavludin Khidirnabiyev. The Investigative Committee reported that the suspects in the attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent were charged with terrorism.
