Extremist fighters attacked a hotel in the Somali Capital, Mogadishu on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people and injuring more than 50 others.
The assault on the Dayah hotel started when a suicide car bomb exploded at it’s gates.
A second explosion followed militants then opened fire and tried to enter the hotel.
Security Minister Abdirizak Omar Mohamed said that security officers had ended the siege and shot dead all the attackers.
Somalia’s homegrown Al-Shabab Group claimed responsibility for the attack, which came at a time when the country is preparing to hold an election for lawmakers to choose a new president.
