A cinemagoer who escaped unhurt told Radio Garowe that they were watching a European soccer match when the explosion tore through the cinema.
In an unrelated incident, one person was killed and four others wounded when a bomb exploded yesterday inside a cinema in Mogadishu, the Somali capital.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings, but Islamist-linked groups have spread out flyers warning cinemagoers about possible attacks.
In 2006, when the Islamic Courts ruled much of Somalia, Islamist gunmen forcefully shut down cinemas where Somalis watched World Cup soccer games and Indian films, under the pretext that such viewing is un-Islamic.
