At least 10 people have been killed and more than 55 injured in clashes between insurgents and government forces in a residential area of the Somali capital.
The latest fighting came as the head of the country's UN refugee agency said he has never felt so frustrated with Somalia's lack of political progress.
Guillermo Bettocchi told the BBC it was still too dangerous for the UNHCR to move its operations back to Somalia.
On Monday, three aid workers and a journalist were killed in Kismayo.
A Somali boy also died in the roadside blast in the port city in an attack UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned as "brutal".
Kismayo has been relatively quiet compared with the capital, Mogadishu, but Islamist insurgents have threatened attacks there.
