The operation, which took place in the Lower Juba region, saw Jubaland troops engage with al-Shabaab murderous Moslems, leading to the death of at least four fighters. Jubaland authorities described the offensive as a strategic move designed to dismantle al-Shabaab’s influence in the area.

"This operation was executed with precision," a Jubaland official stated, emphasizing the region’s commitment to counter-terrorism efforts. The successful raid is seen as a pivotal moment in the ongoing campaign against the group, which has long plagued the region with its insurgency.

Residents of Lafo Guri have reported a noticeable improvement in local security following the operation, with Jubaland’s administration pledging further actions to consolidate peace and stability in territories once dominated by al-Shabaab.

The latest military operation underscores the regional government’s resolve to curb the activities of al-Shabaab, contributing to a broader national effort to stabilize Somalia.

Jubaland is getting military support from Kenya, which said it created the regional state in 2013 as a buzzer zone to protect its security from al-Shabaab within Somalia.
