| Foreign forces riding in warplanes attacked the Al shabaab controlled Jilib district of Somalia’s southern middle Jubba region, sources said. Reports said the attack began with airstrike before special soldiers swooped into Jilib and engaged a fierce gunfire with Al shabaab fighters. Details are scarce, but Shabaab has reportedly resisted the air and ground attack by the unidentified foreign forces who bombed Al shabaab base in the town. The exact casualty figures of the attack remain unclear. US military stepped up special operations targeting top Al Shabaab leaders in south and central Somalia over the past few months. |
