| Heavy fighting broke out Saturday between Somali national army (SNA) soldiers and fighters belonging to Al shabaab in Tiyeglow town in Bakol region of southern Somalia. The gunfight erupted after Al Shabaab fighters assaulted SNA base in the town, sparking deadly scuffle that has led to the death of several soldiers and militants, reports said. Pro-al Shabaab media, quoting unnamed commander reported that the militants have killed senior Somali military commander, along with three soldiers in the army base attack. Meanwhile, Tiyeglow authority did confirm the attack on Somali military outpost, but denied the Al shabaab claim of killing top commander and three soldiers in the ambush raid. |
