Unidentified gunmen have tonight attacked a military compound housing Ethiopian forces in the Somalia capital Mogadishu – it is part of increasing insurgent attacks in the city. Residents told Somalinet that they could hear explosions and gunfire in Suqa-Xolaha (market of livestock) area in north of the capital. “We heard the sounds of heavy explosions around 8:00 pm local time and then followed several minutes gunfire near El-Erfid where the Ethiopian forces are stationing,” Maslah Mohamed, one of the local residents said. There is no immediate casualty on the latest attack. The attackers were reported to have been riding Toyota Pickup or SUV and fired around five mortar shells at the compound. It is the fifth attack by supporters of the ousted Islamists in Mogadishu within a week as bodies of slaughtered men were seen in different locations of the capital.
