A ball of fire erupts within a thick cloud of smoke in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, after a petrol station caught fire on Saturday. African Union peacekeepers and Somalia government forces rallied to secure the area and, assisted by locals, attempted to extinguish the blaze. The cause of the fire is reportedly linked to insurgents.
