Witnesses told the BBC's Ibrahim Aden that the
explosives-laden car rammed a restaurant at the popular Lido Beach. Five gunmen
then opened fire.
It is not clear if there have been casualties.
No group has yet said it carried out the attack,
but suspicion will fall on al-Shabab which has carried out similar bombings in
the past.
Lido Beach, on the northern edge of Mogadishu, attracts
thousands of mostly young Somalis looking to relax and enjoy
the beach and the surf. Several restaurants have opened up along the beach
front in recent years.
