Around 20 Ethiopian soldiers have been killed by their fellow servicemen in the Somali military in the southern district of El Warego.
The region was a scene of heavy fighting between Ethiopian soldiers and Somali troops, Press TV correspondent reported.
The El Warego district is near the town of EL Merka, 100km south of the capital Mogadishu.
The soldiers had just entered Somalia from Ethiopia, where they had been receiving training. Ethiopia, backed by the US, sent troops to the country in an attempt to support the Somali transitional government.
The Ethiopians have been held responsible for the deaths of countless Somali civilians.
Five soldiers were also found dead in the Boondheere district north of Mogadishu, witnesses said.
Reportedly a Somali officer has resigned his post, accusing the government of contributing to more killings and plundering of the country.
