At least 41 Ethiopian soldiers are killed in one of the deadliest battles between allied Ethiopian-Somali forces and local insurgents.
The clashes broke out on Thursday afternoon in Hamar Bile district, southern Mogadishu, when a huge number of Ethiopian soldiers entered the area, Press TV correspondent Ahmed Mohamed reported. The fighting, which has been described as unprecedented in past months, also left more than 60 injured. During the incident, angry Ethiopian soldiers started firing missile and artillery at the insurgents which heavily damaged the Bakara market, the busiest trade center in the country. The shelling left at least 37 civilians killed and nearly 175 others injured, including women and children. A large number of people are fleeing from northern Mogadishu, carrying their children and belongings. MB                 |
