The Takfiri al-Shabab militants have killed more than 10 soldiers in an attack on a base in southern Somalia.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tAbdulahi Mohamed, a senior security official, said on Sunday that the assailants drove a truck loaded with explosives into the main entrance of the base in Bulogadud area before attacking the soldiers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe militant group claimed responsibility for the deadly assault in a brief statement posted on a pro-Shabab website. The statement said “three technical vehicles were looted” in the assault.<\/p>\n

\n\t“There was an attack on the military base in Bulogadud\u00a0this morning… the initial information indicates that more than 10 soldiers were killed,” media outlets quoted Mohamed as saying. “There was a car bomb blast and gunfire followed. The forces retreated from the base initially but they later regained control.”<\/p>\n

\n\tAhmed Mohamud, a resident in a nearby village, told AFP that the militants “burned down everything and left.”<\/p>\n

\n\tBulogadud\u00a0is located about 70 kilometers (40 miles) from the port town of Kismayo, which has come under several militant\u00a0attacks in recent years.<\/p>\n

\n\tAl-Shabab, an al-Qaeda-aligned militant group, was forced out of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, by African Union troops in 2011 but still controls parts of the countryside and carries out attacks against government, military and civilian targets.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe militant group is just one of the challenges facing the new Somali government, which is still struggling to expand its authority beyond the capital and other selected areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
