A suicide bomber in Somalia has detonated explosives in a crowded restaurant, killing at least 12 people including himself, according to police.
The attack occurred in the city of Beledweyne, about 339 kilometres (210.65 miles) north of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
"It was horrible, I counted 12 people killed – among them soldiers – and many others were injured," Mohamed Islow Ali, a witness, told AFP.
"There were a lot of people in the restaurant when the bomber blew himself up, many people have died including civilians," said Hussein Ali, another witness to the attack.
Mohamed Abdi, a senior Somali police official, told the Associated Press that at least 10 people were injured in the blast.
The restaurant targeted was understood to be popular among soldiers.
Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants have since claimed responsibility for the bombing.
"The attack was carried out by one of the mujahedeen. Thanks to Allah, he has killed many of the enemy including Ethiopian soldiers and Djiboutians," Sheikh Mohamed, an al Shabaab commander in the nearby town of Bulaburde, told AFP.
The group was also responsible for last month's attack on Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre in Kenya.
At least 67 people were killed in the four-day siege.
