In Somalia, a car full of explosives rammed into a hotel. Then gunmen ran into the building and started shooting.
More than 26 people died, and 56 were injured. Two of the people who died were Americans, and one person was a well-known Somali-Canadian journalist.
The attack took place on Friday 12th, and the extremist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility.
Difficult words: ram (drive/crash into), claim responsibility (say that you did something good or bad).
