On 22 April 2022, at least six people were killed and seven injured[1] in a suicide bombing at a restaurant in Mogadishu, Somalia.[2] The Pescatore Seafood Restaurant had recently opened in the seaside area of Lido Beach.[3] The explosion was detonated by an Al-Shabaab suicide bomber[4] who had been denied access inside the restaurant, where the Somali Police Commissioner and several lawmakers gathered to have an Iftar meal to break the Ramadan fast.[1] None of the legislators were harmed in the explosion,[5] but some of the security personnel were among those killed in the blast. Local police did not specify how many, but did say those killed were mostly civilians.[1]
