Witnesses say Ethiopian and Somali government troops have clashed with al-Shabab militants in southwestern Somalia.

VOA's Somali Service reports the sides battled Tuesday in a village between the towns of Luq and Bardale. Bardale is located 60 kilometers west of Baidoa, an al-Shabab stronghold that was once the seat of Somalia's Transitional Federal Government.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Somalia's deputy prime minister said the allied government and Ethiopian forces are headed toward Baidoa and will take the area within days.
