The African Union has condemned what it calls a failed attack by Al Shabaab militants in Halgan in the Hiiran region of Somalia. 

There is no official confirmation on the number of fallen soldiers.

Coletta Wanjohi reports from Addis Ababa:  


Al-Shabab militants claimed Thursday that its fighters killed 60 soldiers during an attack on a military base of Ethiopian soldiers serving with an African Union force in Somalia.

He says AMISOM forces killed 110 Al-Shabab militants and captured their weapons during the attempted attack.
