Somalia national army forces conducted military operations in some villages of the Lower Shabelle region which they claimed killed 21 Alshabab fighters and wounded 10 others. The national intelligence service reportedly launched the operation after receiving information that al-Shabaab rebels were plotting an imminent attack.
The ministry of information also said that no Alshabab fighters survived during the raid. However, the government did not reveal if there were any casualties on their side. Alshabab also has not responded to the matter.
The Somali government claimed to have killed 200 Al-Shabaab militants in four days of military operations as the war against Alshabab intensifies in recent days.
Somali government and local clan militias confirmed they have successfully ousted al-Shabaab fighters from several key villages in central Somalia and the liberation campaign has successfully disrupted the group’s ability to raise money through extortion and its organizational capacity.
