The attack becomes the second in two days and comes amid a political crisis in the country between the PM and the outgoing president Farmajo.

An official statement from the Al-Shabaab said that at least seven soldiers were killed in the blast that targeted the allied forces from Galmudug and Somali national army [SNA] while 4 vehicles were burnt.

There was no claim of responsibility for the attack which comes amid fears that Al-Shabaab could retake the city from Somali and AU troops' control.
