Al Shabaab attacks African peacekeepers in Somalia, big death toll feared

Al-Shabaab militants attacked an African Union military base in Buulo Mareer, Somalia, with suicide bombers and vehicle bombs, resulting in heavy casualties for both sides. The base housed Ugandan troops who were part of a peacekeeping force.
The US State Department and European Union condemned the attack, expressing condolences to the victims' families and emphasizing their commitment to supporting peace and stability in Somalia.
Al-Shabaab has been fighting to overthrow Somalia's government and establish an Islamist state since 2006, and while government counteroffensives have pushed the group back, they remain capable of significant attacks.
