Ten civilians lost their lives in the ongoing clashes in Las Anod.
A mortar shell attack left 10 civilians dead in clashes that took place in the conflict-ridden city on Friday.
Sources revealed that mortar shells fell on residential houses.
Somaliland forces have been fighting troops that support the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) for over a week.
Several buildings in the city now lie in ruins following the deadly attack.
Incidentally, the mortar shelling took place at a time of increased calls for peace talks and consensus as a solution to the conflicts.
