More than 10 soldiers were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a military base in the Somali capital Mogadishu, reports say.

A reporter at the scene said the bomber, posing as a military trainee, walked into the army camp in the Wadajir district of the Somali capital and detonated explosives strapped to his waist, during morning training.

At least 10 other people were injured.
