![]() No casualty was reported on the soldiers but three people in the area were confirmed wounded in the bullets sprayed by the troops. "When the bomb exploded, everyone in market run away to escape from the police shootings," Yahie Ismael, a local resident told Somalinet. Hours before the grenade attack and shooting, the Ethiopian forces spread into all roads in and out of the district searching for those who are behind the frequent attacks on their bases. The search operations came after rebel Islamist groups last night attacked positions of the government troops and their Ethiopian ally in Yaqshid neighborhood. |
