Al shabaab militants raid large KDF base in Somalia
2017-06-18
[SHABELLENEWS] Heavily armed Al shabaab fighters were reported to have launched an overnight daring raid against a KDF military camp near Bardere town in Gedo region, residents confirmed.

The attack began in the evening, as residents break their Ramadan fast and continued until midnight, according to a villager, speaking to Radio Shabelle on condition of anonymity.

Al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
holy warriors encountered a stiff resistance from Kenyan troops and were driven back from the base during the a heavy shootout, last inflicted losses on both sides.

However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
the exact number of casualties remain unclear. AMISOM is yet to release its own statement concerning the Al shabaab attack on KDF base on the outskirts of Bardere district.
