At least three people have been killed in an ongoing attack in a hotel in southern Somalia on Sunday, police and a witness said.
"Terrorist attackers stormed Hotel Tawakal this afternoon and there is ongoing fighting inside the building now between the security forces and the terrorists," police officer Abdullahi Ismail told AFP.
"There are fatalities and three civilians were confirmed dead but it is very difficult to say the exact number of the casualties now."
