Fighting broke out in the Muuri neighborhood of the Wanlaweyn district after forces loyal to the DC and his dpeuty commissioner for social affairs clashed on Saturday.
The two officials have reportedly been at loggerheads over the past few days, which has led to clashes in the area.
It is not clear the exact number of casualties in the fighting, and there is no word yet from the Lower Shabelle regional administration.
The situation is now calm and the two sides are still facing each other.
