A suicide car bomb explosion at a military base in Somalia injured seven soldiers late Saturday, a military official said, and Islamist group al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack.

一名军方官员说，周六晚些时候，索马里一个军事基地发生自杀式汽车炸弹爆炸，造成7名士兵受伤，伊斯兰组织青年党声称对此次袭击负责。

Al Shabaab fights to topple Somalia’s western-backed central government and impose its a rule based on its own strict interpretation of Islam’s Sharia law.

青年党试图推翻由西方国家支持的索马里中央政府，并根据自己对伊斯兰教教法的严格解释来实施它的统治。

Major Hussein Ali, a Somali military officer told Reuters the attack took place at a military base just outside the town of Kismayu in Southern Somalia.

索马里军官侯赛因·阿里少校告诉路透社，袭击发生在索马里南部基斯马尤镇外的一个军事基地。

“We fired (at) the suicide car bomb before it entered the base. It exploded outside the base. Only seven Somali soldiers were injured,” Ali said.

“我们在自杀汽车炸弹进入基地前向它开火。索性它在基地外爆炸了，只有7名索马里士兵受伤。

The assault was on the same base where a U.S. soldier was killed in an attack late on Friday.

在上周五晚些时候，一名美军士兵在同一基地由于恐怖袭击被打死。

Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the Saturday attack and said they killed 40 Somali soldiers.

青年党声称对周六的袭击负责，并宣称说他们还杀害了40名索马里士兵。

Al Shabaab is also fighting to drive out African Union mandated peace keeping force AMISOM.

青年党还在努力赶走非洲联盟授权的非索特派团维持和平部队。

“The foreign forces ran away from the base this morning because we attacked them on Friday. We targeted the Somali forces who were in the base,” he added.

“今天早上外国驻军就从基地逃跑了，因为我们星期五就袭击了他们。我们的目标是驻扎在基地内的索马里部队。”

Abdullahi Ismail, a resident in the area where the attack occurred told Reuters he saw five casualties being taken to a local hospital.

袭击发生地的居民AbdullahiIsmail告诉路透社，他看到5名伤员被送往当地医院。
