(BBC) — An air strike in al-Shabab-held southern Somalia has killed four people, including three foreigners, eyewitnesses have told the BBC.

The strike destroyed two vehicles in a convoy in an area known as K60 because it is around 60km (35 miles) south of the capital, Mogadishu, they say.

It is not clear who fired the missiles, reportedly shot from five helicopters.

The BBC’s Mohamed Dhore in the capital says the blast is far bigger than any carried out by Kenyan forces which have recently moved into some of the areas of southern Somalia controlled by al-Shabab.

Eyewitnesses say the missile strike at 03:00 local time (00:00 GMT) was heard many miles away.

Earlier reports said six people had been killed.

The US military, which has a base in neighbouring Djibouti, has previously carried out drone strikes in Somalia.

“That air strike is not from our end,” Kenyan army spokesman Col Cyrus Oguna told the AFP news agency.

Eyewitnesses told the BBC that some of those killed appeared to be of European or Asian origin.
