At least three people have been killed and several more injured after sporadic gun-battle between Somali government soldiers backed by Kenyan military and al-Shabaab erupted in the village of Busar outskirts of Elwak town in Gedo region of southern Somalia.
The combat flared up after Somali soldiers and Kenyans attacked the village to flush out Al shabaab from there.
Government officials, who asked for anonymity, told Shabelle Media Network that they confiscated the village of Busar completely.
