MOGADISHU, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Several Ugandan peacekeepers were wounded in Mogadishu on Tuesday when a number of mortar bombs struck nearby as they guarded the Somali capital's sea port, the spokesman for the African Union (AU) force said.

"Several soldiers have been injured, but I have no more information right now," Captain Paddy Ankunda told Reuters.
