Gunmen kill one soldier in ambush attack in Somalia
[ShabelleMedia] Armed militias attacked a convoy of Somali forces traveling in the vicinity of Guri’el, a town in Galgadud town under Galmudug...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... state. The ambush sparked a confrontation that caused various casualties. Residents said at least one Somali soldier was killed in the attack, while two others were maimed. The assailants behind the attack expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, and the government forces conducted an investigation into the incident. This attack is coming, while in recent times the armed forces have been conducting large-scale operations in areas of the Hiraan region in the center of the country.
