The spokesman broke his leg as a result of the injury, and also suffered an arm injury with a severe chest injury.
He will also undergo surgery on his leg.
Mohamed Ibrahim Moalimuu was injured in a suicide car bomb attack near the Mogadishu’s Dabka Intersection on Sunday, as a man wearing an explosives vest blew himself up in his car.
Al Shabaab, which is at war with the federal government, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
