Ethiopian soldiers have fled the Dayniile District of South Mogadishu after heavily armed UIC and their Al Shabaab allies captured the area.
This is while at least 10 Ethiopian soldiers have been killed in a massive landmine explosion in the south of the capital by insurgents, a Press TV correspondent reported.
The insurgents also looted Dayniile Hospital and many houses in the area used by the ethiopian army.
Explosions also shook different parts of Mogadishu before Ethiopian and Somali warlords started fleeing the area.
Meanwhile, five heavy mortars landed inside Mogadishu International Airport injuring a number of Ethiopian soldiers.
The mortar shells apparently targeted an airplane trying to land in the airport. The plane did not land and managed a safe escape.
