The Al Qaeda tied rebel insurgents in Somalia fired several mortar shells on Saturday night at the Villages of Baidoa town, the provincial capital of Bay region in southern Somalia, local residents said.
However, al-Shabaab has not yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
Nothing indicated on Saturday that the base was hit.
AMISOM bases have been a regular target of the al-Shabaab militant group which seeks to to topple the Western-backed government.
Al-Shabaab still appears to be trying to hold onto areas in South west of Somalia. These are areas from which Al-Shabaab has been able to extract considerable amounts of tax, as well as military training camps. They have been able to control farming and trading in these areas.
