تقول الشرطة تعرضت سيارة عسكرية كانت ترافق قافلة دبلوماسية في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة في انفجار سيارة ملغومة في العاصمة الصومالية، مما أسفر عن مقتل 12 شخصا على الاقل.
The UAE ambassador survived the suicide attack as he was riding in a bullet-proof land cruiser vehicle, the BBC's Mohamed Moalimu reports from Mogadishu.
The militant Islamist group al-Shabab says it carried out the attack, to target "a foreign enemy".
Al-Shabab is battling Somalia's government for control of the country.
On Sunday morning, a suicide car bomber and gunmen attacked a training centre for the national intelligence agency.
The militants have vowed to intensify attacks during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began on Wednesday.
