MOGADISHU, Somalia — A car bomb exploded near a police station in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, on Sunday, killing at least six people and wounding at least 13 others, according to a police captain.

Capt. Mohamed Hussein said the explosion near Waberi police station along the busy Maka Almukarramah road might have been the work of a suicide bomber.

The explosion came on the same day that fighters from the Shabab terrorist group launched a deadly attack on a convoy of Ugandan soldiers with the African Union in southern Somalia.
