6 civilians from one family were killed as a result of shelling by the Ugandan forces on an area in Lower Shabelle, in the state of southwestern Somalia.
Reports indicate that the Ugandan forces stationed in the Ambariso area, located on the outskirts of the city of Barawi, the administrative capital of Southwest State, fired mortar shells at the town of “Mdel-Barawi”.
The reports added that one of the shells hit a residential house, killing six children from one family and injuring others.
This painful incident comes in the aftermath of the attack launched by the Somali Islamic Youth Movement last Friday on a military base for Ugandan peacekeepers in “Bolumerere”, which caused casualties among the Ugandan forces participating in the African Union Transitional Mission in Somalia.
