Deadly multiple blasts are reportedly rocked on Tuesday Ethiopian troops in Somalia's central town of Beledweyne, a town which is under the control of Somali government soldiers and its allied Ethiopian troops, reports said.
Eyewitnesses confirmed to Shabelle Media that roadside bombs targeted Ethiopian forces as they were walking east of Beledweyne, but could not verify the exact number of casualties to the Ethiopian military.
Following the blasts Ethiopian forces momentarily halted business and public transportation operations, opening fire at nearby crowds indiscriminately, but No deaths reported.
No Ethiopian military spokesman has briefed the media on the incident.
Beledweyne, 350 kilometers north of Mogadishu, and a trading hub near the Ethiopian border, has witnessed a string of attacks and co-coordinated killings against soldiers and civilians since Al shabab vacated at the end of last year without fighting.
No group has yet said it carried out the landmine blasts on Ethiopian troops in Beledweyne town on Tuesday morning.
