Heavy fighting in South of Somalia
Heavy fighting broke out in Yabariweyne area and part of lower Shabelle region Sunday afternoon residents said.

Residents in the locale said they had heard Thundering explosions and gunfire could be heard at afternoon under one of the heaviest bombardment.

The fighting has started after armed islamist fighters have ambushed armed Som-Ethio troops were heading to Mogadishu Baidoa town south central Somalia. Fighters hostile to the interim government have been setting up defensive-lines in the battling area in the last days. It's yet unknown the causalities of that fighting.
