Tension in a Somali border town after it is seized by pro-government forces

Just one day after pro-Somali government forces seized the border town of Bulo Hawo from hardline Islamist group al-Shabab, tension there has been raised by an explosion from a roadside device.

The capture of the town, which is on Somalia's border with Ethiopia and Kenya, has been seen as a significant victory for the UN-backed government.

Al-Shabab and their allies control most of southern and central Somalia but pro-government forces have been gaining ground in recent weeks.
