At least eight people have been killed and 17 others injured in the Somali capital after the al-Shabab anti-government fighter group fired mortars at the airport and presidential palace.
The attack on Saturday prompted a response from African peacekeepers.
The assault took place as Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, the Somali president, arrived from the Kenyan capital Nairobi after a meeting with Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, police said.
Most of the fatalities occurred in the capital's teeming Bakara market.
Clinton promised to increase arms to war-battered Somalia and further support for African peacekeepers guarding the area around the presidential palace in Mogadishu.
Somalia has been mired by unrest since 1991 and is currently in the grip of a fierce violence, with opposition fighters waging a campaign to topple the African Union-backed government.
