group claimed responsibility for the attack. The military officer said the bombs exploded outside the base, in mid-morning attack in Awdheegle, an agricultural district along the Shabelle River, 70km southwest of the capital Mogadishu.
“The military base is surrounded with heavy sandbags. The two car bombs were fired at and so exploded outside the base,” Captain Hussein Ali, a military officer in another town in the same region, told Reuters. “There are casualties from al Shabaab and government forces, but we have no exact figure. Al Shabaab cut off some of the private telecommunications.”“We heard two huge blasts and gunfire from the direction of the Somali military base.
Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it had killed 50 soldiers and two of its fighters had died. “Two mujahideen driving two car bombs, one after the other, entered the Somali base in Awdhigle district today. We killed 50 government soldiers and burnt their vehicles,” Abdiasis AbuMusab, al Shabaab’s military operation spokesperson said.
The jihadist group and government officials tend to give sharply differing casualty figures for attacks.
