BELEDWEYNE (Sh. M. Network)-Witnesses say at least three Ethiopian soldiers have been killed in a huge blast detonated inside a military base in central Somalia.

Initial reports suggested the attack was used a remote-controlled landmine explosion that tore through an armoured personnel carrier with dozens of Ethiopian troops.

No group or individual has claimed the responsibility for the attack so far.

The army responded the attack by firing indiscriminately on nearby crowds following the incident. No deaths or injures reported.

Saturday’s attack was the latest in series of coordinated roadside and car bomb attacks in Somalia against the foreign forces helping TFG war on Al Qaeda-linked militant group of Al shabab.

Despite the attack, the town appeared far calmer on Saturday, according to local residents.
