Residents of the five Americas, a small vicinity near Lower Shabelle regional district of Kurtunwarey confirmed that militants closed drone-hit areas to the public.

The killed commander was identified as Abu Utayba, with other sources saying other terror commanders might have been targeted in the strike. Details remain patchy, and Garowe Online couldn’t reach officials with explicit knowledge of the drone attack for comments.

Officials at National Security Ministry said, the incident is being investigated.
