Mogadishu (HOL) — Several mortar shells were fired toward the heavily fortified Halane Base Camp in Mogadishu on Monday, which houses United Nations offices, African Union personnel, and Western diplomatic missions.
Some of the mortar rounds reportedly landed in and around the camp, but the number of casualties has not yet been confirmed.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, the al-Qaeda-linked militant group Al-Shabaab has previously targeted both the Mogadishu airport and the Halane Base Camp in similar assaults.
Security forces have launched search operations and intensified patrols in the area following the attack, officials said.
