Mogadishu, July 7 (IBNS): A car bomb blast occurred close to Somalia's ministry of internal security in the Mogadishu city, killing several people, media reports said.

Police told media that the attackers might be terrorists from al-Shabaab terrorist network.

"The attackers initially detonated a car bomb outside the internal security ministry headquarters and a good number of them stormed the building. Security forces are engaging in a fierce gun battle with the assailants inside the building," said a police officer to Xinhua news agency.

Meanwhile,  African Union Mission in Somalia condemned the attack.

" #AMISOM strongly condemns this morning's attack on the premises of the Ministry of Interior in #Mogadishu. The terrorists prove once again their disregard for the stability and progress of #Somalia," the mission tweeted.
