Sources indicate six people have thus far been killed in the clashes, with a further thirteen people wounded.
Reinforcements have now reportedly reached the area and led to the resumption of hostilities.
Officials from the Bari Regional Administration in northern Somalia have left for Iskushuban to attempt to stop the feuding.
The Puntland State Government banned unplanned urbanisation and unauthorised sealing off of countryside areas for business purposes.
