Six people were killed and ten others wounded in an explosion on Monday in a local restaurant in the southern part of Somalia, local security officials said.
The security officers told state-owned Somalia national television that the explosion occurred at a tea shop in Qalimow town in the Middle Shabelle region, about 35 km north of the capital, Mogadishu.
No group has claimed responsibility for the latest attacks in Somalia but al-Shabab militants frequently stage such attacks in Mogadishu and elsewhere.
The militants have intensified attacks in Somalia despite government forces having made intensive operations against the group in central and southern regions in recent months in an attempt to flush out al-Shabab cells.
