At least one government soldier has been killed and three others have been injured after suicide bomber targeted a base of government soldiers in the Somali capital Mogadishu, witnesses and officials said on Sunday.
Abdifatah Shaweye, deputy governor of Mogadishu, said the suicide bomber drove a pickup truck to the gate of the base of government military soldiers and detonated the bomb in front of the guards.
Witnesses said they could see a Toyota Hilux Surf heading to the base of the government soldiers in the capital.
No group has claimed the responsibility of the suicide attack yet , but this is the work of the Islamist rebels that are fighting against the fragile government and the African troops in Mogadishu.
An upsurge in violence this month has killed nearly 200 people in Mogadishu and forced some 60,000 residents from their homes.
At least 55 people have died since Friday morning when the government attacked rebel strongholds in the city.
