The fighting in Siisii area in north Mogadishu has intensified around 6:00 local time and left more people mostly civilian dead and others injured, while fresh fighting between militia loyal to union of Islamic courts and those linked with anti-terror alliance of warlords has broken out in Wahar-adde village of Hurwaa district of north Mogadishu on Wednesday. There is no immediate word over the causalities of the latest clashes and it is too hard to find out the exact death toll. But one person has been killed by mortar shell that has fallen into his house in Tokyo village in Yaqshid district of north Mogadishu. The mortar shell has also killed four cows in the village. Also war tension has loomed into new areas in the capital such between Bakaro and Howlwadag junctions in south of Mogadishu, where more militia from both sides have been taking position in preparation to fight. Streets were blocked by stones, with the Islamic militiamen have been deployed near Howlwadag junction, while other militia of warlords occupied near mosque alongside the street. Residents there are too much worried about the militias deployed on them fearing of fresh clashes in the area. The rival militias have taken positions in close range places in north Mogadishu. "We could hear the sounds of artillery shells, mortars and assault rifles from the area the war started" witnesses who were in the near by villages told Somalinet office in Mogadishu. Stray bullets hit neighbouring villages in Mogadishu.
It is not clear the casualties of the latest clashes. But medical officials in Madina hospital in south Mogadishu said we have received at least eight people most civilians who were injured by stray bullets, while Kenseney hospital in north of Mogadishu received nine wounded people on Wednesday. At least 100 people have been killed and nearly 200 wounded since fighting flared up in the capital Sunday, as health officials said on Wednesday.
