It is not yet clear the cause of the latest clashes but some reports say that local militia suspected the convoys of the forces were originally from Puntland state in northeast Somalia. The forces initially left from the Somalia capital where the interim government is currently working after ousting the Islamist movement. Both sides exchanged heavy artillery and machinegun fires. The injured people were taken to Istarlin hospital in Guri-El where they are being treated. So far, the government officials did not give any comment on the latest gun battle. |
