Heavy clashes between Ethiopian forces and insurgents in central Somalia have left at least 14 soldiers dead and many others wounded.

The soldiers were killed late on Thursday as anti-Ethiopian insurgents raided newly positioned Ethiopians between Cali Kamiin and Albraka in Hodon District, the Press TV correspondent in Somalia reported.

The fierce battle lasted for 3 hours; however, the insurgents finally fled the area.

Elsewhere in Somalia, a large number of government soldiers, armed with high-powered rifles, opened fire on civilians at Mogadishu’s Bakara Market on Friday morning.

There were no immediate reports on the number of casualties.
