Somalia Army forces have confirmed that they have killed at least 25 Alshabab fighters and injured several others during an operation at Gambole about 48 km to Jowhar town, the administrative capital of Hirshabelle State.
Some of the Military officials said the troops will intensify sting operations in the area to flush out the group blamed for insecurity in the region. They also added that the forces carried out the operation after getting intelligence reports about the presence of the group in the Gambole area who were planning to carry out terror activities in the area.
Al-Shabab did not comment on the latest military onslaught on its fighters made by the Somali commandos so far, but the operation comes as allied forces have vowed to carry out joint security patrols ahead of the holy month of Ramadan which begins on Tuesday.
