Two explosions followed by gunfire were heard on Saturday along a road housing government ministries in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, witnesses and police told AFP.

“There were two blasts at the vicinity of government ministries in Mogadishu and there is gunfire sporadically going on,” police officer Abdukadir Mohamed said.

Witnesses said there was a major blast followed minutes later by a smaller one near the ministries of public works and labor.
