At least 12 people have been killed as mortars landed in parts of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, witnesses say.

  A mother and her three children were among the dead, their neighbour said. Fifty people were wounded, doctors say.

The shelling follows clashes between Ethiopian-backed government forces and insurgents, in which two people died.

Ethiopia last week denied accusations it had shelled the busy Bakara market, killing 17 people, but correspondents say only Ethiopia has the capability.
