According to news reports from Hafeey, a territory on the outskirts of Buurdhuubo of the Gedo region, state that armed fighters from Al-Shabaab attacked the town today.
Officials from the Somali government in Hafeey with whom we have contacted over the phone, confirm that 3 soldiers from the government's troops were killed in the clashes.
| Maybe they tried to catch a thrown mortar shell... |
The environment now is peaceful except for the three dead guys and the town is occupied by soldiers from the Somali National Army.
It was only recently when Buurdhuubo in Gedo region was liberated from the rebel group, Al-Shabaab. |
