At least 12 people have been killed after al-Shabab militants stormed a hotel in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
Police said attackers detonated two explosives outside the hotel last night, before entering the building and opening fire.
There are reports of continued gunfire and explosions today, as security forces battle an unknown number of gunmen still inside holding hostages.
Dozens of guests and staff members have been rescued.
