Official says missile hits hospital in Somali capital

A missile hit a hospital ward packed with civilians wounded in fighting between Islamic insurgents and Ethiopian troops allied to the Somali government, but it was not immediately clear if it caused additional casualties, an official said. The ward already was housing 20-30 wounded adults, said Wilhelm Huber, regional director for the SOS Children’s Villages. The children had been evacuated earlier, he said.
