MOGADISHU, Somalia, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- An explosion has rocked a convoy of African Union peacekeepers in Mogadishu, Somalia, damaging a truck, officials said Tuesday.
A spokesman for the peacekeeping force, known as AMISOM, told the Shabelle Media Network there were no casualties from the roadside bomb attack.
Witnesses said the AU soldiers fired their guns after the remote-controlled explosives were detonated.
The Islamist insurgent group Al-Shabaab claimed the responsibility for the attack, Shabelle reported.
