The Al-Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility for an attack on a US base in Somalia on Monday, as the
European Union confirmed a separate strike against a convoy of Italian advisers.
In a statement, Al-Shabaab said: "In the early hours of Monday morning, an elite unit of soldiers... launched a daring raid on the US military base".
The Shabaab claimed they had killed dozens in the attack, however the US Mission to Somalia and a Somali military official said there were no casualties.
