The origin of the explosion is the subject of an investigation.
In the Somali capital of Mogadishu, there was a suspected suicide explosion that left at least five dead and ten injured.
On Wednesday, the assault happened close to a security checkpoint on the well-traveled Mogadishu-Afgoye route.
According to Mogadishu security officer Nour Abdirahman, who spoke with Anadolu, the attack happened during morning rush hour and the police think it was a suicide bombing.
According to him, an investigation was started to find out what caused the explosion.
The terrorist organization Al Shabab, which has been battling to overthrow the central government of Somalia for almost 20 years, took credit for the attack.
