Mogadishu: At least 14 Somalis were killed in inter-clan clashes sparked by land ownership disputes, witnesses said on Saturday.

Fighting broke out late on Thursday near Kismayo, a port town located some 500km south of the capital Mogadishu, between the Huber and Shekal clans.

"The fighting left around 14 people dead. Many of them are combatants and some of them are civilians caught in cross-fire."
