Authorities in Somalia say 26 people have been killed and scores injured in an Islamist attack at a military base north of the capital Mogadishu.
Senior army commander Col Abshir Shataqey and a number of other soldiers died when al-Shabab stormed the facility, which was seized from the militants in October.
The latest fighting comes a day after the government announced it had recaptured the key port of Haradhere in central Somalia, which had been under jihadist control for years.
