According to the Ministry of Defense, Somalia national army killed 27 Alshabab fighters during a military operation in the central state of Galmudug. The operation took place in the villages of Balal-Dheer, El-Gambar, and Mililiqo.
Three bases belonging to Alshabab, according to the statement, were targeted and destroyed, along with their vehicles and military equipment. However, Alshabab did not comment on this recent incident.
The latest operation comes amid intensified military operations by the Somalia army, involving airstrikes targeting senior ALshabab commanders in the country’s south and central provinces.
Earlier on Friday, without disclosing his full identity, the ministry said an airstrike in the southwestern province of Bakool killed a senior leader of the al-Qaeda-affiliated group al-Shabaab and his seven guards.
