Abdi Nur Ibrahim, Jubaland front man for security told journalists that an offensive was carried out by SNA and Jubaland forces along with foreign partners in an area between Bar Sanguni and Jamame in Somalia’s southern Lower Juba region.

Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) killed three al-Shabaab Death Eaters and captured one in a shootout in the Somali border town of Bura Hache.
