siege at a house in the capital, Mogadishu on Tuesday.

The ministry of information has announced the end of the hours-long operation to regain control of the beachfront house in Abdulaziz District.

It added at least 10 people were killed and 7 maimed in the al-Shabaab attack that started with a suicide kaboom at the gate of the house accommodating maimed Macwisley fighters.

Four button men who fought off security forces the police inside the house were rubbed out, ending one of the major attacks in the capital since the beginning of 2023.

The al-Qaeda affiliated group claimed it killed dozens of soldiers in the house attack, a claim that the government has denied.

The ministry of information said four soldiers sustained wounds during the operation that began in the afternoon and ended in the evening.

The deputy speaker of the Senate Ali Sha’ban who was in the house at the time of the attack was evacuated by the police to a safer location.

Al-Shabaab targeted Macwisley fighters for their role in the Hiran battle which dealt a big blow to the gunnies since last year.
Garowe adds:
Al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
forces of Evil have been targeting military centers and highly populated regions in the country, but the military has been responding by waging sophisticated operations. The operations, the government says, have leftover 700 forces of Evil dead and thousands injured, in what analysts have termed a "huge success".

The number of casualties still remains scanty but the forces of Evil may have suffered massive losses according to witnesses. The al-Shabaab extortionists usually claim victory in such attacks even in the instances where it is clear that they have lost on the battlefield across the country.

Earlier today, Major Mohammed Dahir Abdulle, a senior Somali Police officer survived a landmine explosion on the road in Hodan District, Mogadishu, witnesses said. The forces of Evil also are notorious for targeting senior government officials in their cowardly attacks along with innocent civilians.
